A-Doc is a national network that works to increase the visibility and support of Asian Americans in the documentary field.

Thanks for coming our to our annual Summer Social in Los Angeles! We mixed and mingled with our favorite directors, cinematographers, composers, producers and other film folks in this summer gathering celebrating creatives of all marginalized genders. We connected with like minded folks interested in amplifying underrepresented voices in the film industry…and had a little fun in the process!
Co-hosted by AWFC and Film Fatales with support from community partners A-Doc, Black Film Space, Chicana Directors Initiative, Composers Diversity Collective, ICF+C, The Writers Lab and the DGA Women’s Steering Committee.
