In the summer of 2021, the APA Visionaries brand was visually reimagined for use across experiential, digital, mobile and social platforms.
APA Visionaries is a short film competition sponsored by HBO that provides emerging directors of Asian and/or Pacific Islander descent the opportunity to showcase their work.
Judged by a panel of HBO executives, industry leaders, and fellow APA filmmakers, the competition seeks to identify cinematic storytellers who offer unique perspectives of the Asian Pacific American experience. In addition to receiving cash prizes, the three selected films make their premiere at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and the filmmakers are offered the opportunity to license their film to premiere exclusively on HBO and/or its platforms during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
