This past weekend, I attended the 2016 Asians on Film Festival for my short film Finding Cleveland, and I am honored to announce that we won Best Documentary! With over 300 submissions, the annual short film festival handed out a total of 17 awards, focusing attention on new and emerging Asian American talent in the filmmaking industry. Multiple screenings took place throughout the event, which took began on Wednesday, March 9 and ended with the awards ceremony on Sunday, March 13. I was excited to see actor Will Yun Lee, who has appeared in San Andreas, Wolverine, and Hawaii 5-0, received an honorary award for Supporting Role Model.
