Based in San Diego, ACMA reaches throughout the entire Southern California region to support its filmmakers and storytellers, as well as highlight the people, organizations, and events that create positive change within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

We offer various programs including media training, webinars, a podcast series, a cultural television series, community webinars, and an online business directory for AAPI business owners. Through these programs, we aim to bring a voice of unity for everyone in our community.

Event hosts will guide participants through a virtual cooking showcase, then provide the best cooks with special prizes! Attendance is free, but registration is required.

During AAPI Heritage Month, we brought attention to the filmmakers that are working to share our stories and create space for others in the industry. Our Storytellers: AAPI Filmmakers was a panel discussion for rising and aspiring filmmakers. Watch our recording now on YouTube.
