Join us for a joint event between Proud Voices On Screen and the Pan-Asian Screen Collective.

Minority creatives can feel a burden in needing to represent their community on screen. On the other hand, it is freeing to be able to create work you and your community want to see. Creating characters and stories that project what you want to experience in the world can bring things into existence - creation as actualisation.

Nathan Joe will moderate a discussion with filmmakers Ramon Te Wake, Rachel Fawcett and Ankita Singh as they explore their approach to creating work that surpasses known tropes and potentially creates new ones.

Speakers: writer/director Ramon Te Wake (The Boy, the Queen and Everything In Between), producer Rachel Fawcett (Munkie, n00b, Joika), writer/director Ankita Singh (Give Me Babies)

Moderator: Nathan Joe

This event is made possible with support from the New Zealand Film Commission
