The documentary will focus on the current struggles and successes of important Asian Americans in the areas of music, film, and dance from both new media creators and long time industry professionals.

Congratulations on what you're doing! We're honored that we met Fariah and Julie at Warrior's Way junket which led to Julie working with Pacific Rim Video as a correspondent.

This documentary definitely will give us Asian Americans a voice to stand up for who we are in front and behind the camera. Our goal is your goal as why we started Pacific Rim Video and Pacific Rim Photo Press. Good luck!

I am an Asian filmmaker in the West myself and I feel that it is so important for our generation to leap forward and make a movement!

This was nice. I enjoyed it and learned alot

instead of making a video made up of already successfuly Asian youtube people, why not start by making your own videos and short films.  I don't understand what you guys are trying to achieve. Are you planning to produce a documentary? Or just start up another Wong Fu style youtube channel? Its been 2 months and there's been no progress since your last video.

[darthsamurai]

@auronsquall what struggle? the most successful asian youtubers don't even want to "struggle" to get into mainstream entertainment. David Choi chooses NOT to be signed by a major label. Wong Fu Productions and Freddie Wong choose NOT to make feature length films even though that had tonnes of offers. So the people who have the chance get into the mainstream, don't even want to be a part of what this video is preaching. Youtube is OUR playing field and we're already dominating it

[auronsquall]

@darthsamurai I have to disagree. Youtube is simply a catalyst for talent to come through. The amount of people that are Asian making videos and music on here are still limited. Going beyond that, there are hardly any artists on the mainstream market that are Asian. Check Billboard charts, see IMDB, Fine Art, Fashion magazines, you can probably count the Asians on there with just your five fingers. The struggle is still there, it might have improved, but it's there.
