Gold Open Teams With CAPE For Inaugural Gold List To Honor Asian And Pacific Islanders In Film1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteGold Open has partnered with the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment CAPE to launch the inaugural Gold List which honors the most outstanding Asian and Pacific Islander (API) achievements in film each year. Gold Open is part of Gold House, which bolsters multicultural movies to box office success — most notably, the movement brought shine to Parasite and Crazy Rich Asians.
Gold List was created to move the needle forward in regards to the fair inclusion of APIs in mainstream media by helping API films secure major award nominations and recognition — and it’s about time. With anti-Asian racism surging during the pandemic, a celebration of this kind is more than welcomed to help eclipse all the toxicity faced by Asians as well as other underrepresented voices. It should be noted that Asians are the fastest-growing immigrant population, have higher-than-average consumers of digital media, and the second most-frequent moviegoers per year. So perhaps the film industry should be paying more attention to the API community.
