The Sundance Institute has partnered with The Asian American Foundation to launch a new fellowship and scholarship, which will look to improve AAPI representation in the film and television industries over the long term by providing up-and-coming AAPI artists with the creative and tactical support necessary to grow professionally.
The Sundance Institute | The Asian American Foundation Fellowship and Collab Scholarship are made possible by support from TAAF, through a $400,000 grant provided by its AAPI Giving Challenge partner Panda Express, as well as The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which will contribute $140,000. The funding will provide artists with grants and resources to support their work in the program over the course of the next two years.
Sundance and TAAF’s Fellowship will offer six AAPI artists per year a year-round learning experience to advance their professional development. Each fellow selected will receive a $20,000 unrestricted grant to support their individual projects, as well as customized support from the Institute based on their goals.
TAAF’s support will also fund the Sundance scholarships for six emerging AAPI creatives per year, who will be able to enroll in a live, online course focused on their discipline of choice, receive a Creator+ Sundance Collab membership to access Master Classes in the video library, participate in exclusive networking and community-building events, and receive feedback from Sundance Collab Advisors on their projects.
“TAAF is helping build the infrastructure needed to increase AAPI representation and storytelling so that our communities can feel a broader sense of belonging in this country. Investing in and empowering AAPI artists is a powerful way
