For 30 years, Reel Asian has opened doors for filmmakers, artists, and audiences. Now we’re inviting our community to take part in 30 for 30 — a simple idea with big impact. If 30 people each raise $3,000 (or more, even $30,000), we can expand our offerings: more films on screen, more artist support, and a sustained festival for years to come.
When you start a fundraiser, you’re not just collecting donations. You’re building an enduring platform for Asian and Asian diasporic voices to thrive in the film and media landscape.
Every dollar you raise helps:
Start a fundraiser, rally your friends, set a goal, and make real change.
The future of Asian storytelling depends on people who take part. What will you help make possible?
