It’s Amy Wang’s moment! ⭐️ At SXSW this year, we sponsored the Narrative Feature Competition to celebrate the best storytelling in independent film.

On top of the festival buzz, Amy is working on other exciting projects, including writing the highly anticipated Crazy Rich Asians sequel! 👏 Pictured below is Amy at the award ceremony with our Senior Outreach Lead for Film, Taylor Shaw!

We had an incredible time returning to SXSW to celebrate independent filmmakers! 🎥 As the sponsor of the Narrative Feature Filmmaker Dinner and the sponsor for the Narrative Feature Competition, we brought together 50+ talented filmmakers to connect, share stories, and toast to the films screened at the festival. #SWSW continues to be a vibrant platform for independent creators, and we're so proud of our continued partnership! ⭐️ Photos by Drew Elaine
