Mission

CAPE advances diversity and cross-cultural awareness by educating and promoting Asian Pacific Islanders for key artistic and leadership roles in entertainment and media.

The Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE) is proud to celebrate 20 years as the longest-running, largest, and most influential meeting place for APIs in the entertainment industry. It is one of the first diversity-focused groups in Hollywood, setting a template for many similar groups to follow. Today, our Board of Directors is comprised of 20 active professionals and our Council of Advisors includes distinguished executives and artists such as Ang Lee, John Woo, Dean Devlin, David Henry Hwang, Lou Diamond Phillips, B.D. Wong, Janet Yang, and Teddy Zee. CAPE continues the mission of our founders to create a community where positive, like-minded people can support one another both personally and professional – and continue advancing diversity in entertainment.
