CAPE AND TAAF PRESENT
Investigating the workplace experience for Asian American creative executives in the entertainment industry
This first-of-its-kind study, led by CAPE in collaboration in TAAF, focuses on one of the most critical, but often overlooked, components of the narrative change ecosystem: creative executives. The purview of creative executives includes, among other duties, finding and acquiring intellectual property and other source material, hiring talent including writers and directors, casting, and ultimately wielding the power to greenlight projects and shepherd them to screen.
MEDIA GUIDES
To help bridge the gaps between where we are and where we should be, TTIE and Storyline Partners — of which CAPE is a proud partner — have developed the #WriteInclusion: Tips for Accurate Representation project. These heavily researched and vetted factsheets are designed as a tool to guide storytellers through a number of mis- and underrepresented communities and issues. They call out harmful stereotypes and call in more inclusive, authentic narratives.
These factsheets could never capture every experience, nuance, or truth of every community, but they can assist in changing the way we tell stories on television, in movies, and across merging platforms. Consider them the starting point of the conversation.
In a constantly shifting U.S. immigration landscape, Immigrants and Immigration: A Guide for Entertainment Professionals is written as a resource for writers, producers, directors, and creators who want to tell stories that are both accurate and humanizing about immigrants in our country today.
The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) is a membership nonprofit advancing diversity in newsrooms and ensuring fair and accurate coverage of communities of color. AAJA has more than 1,500 members across the United States and Asia.
