THE ASIAN PACIFIC FILMMAKERS EXPERIENCE proudly partnered with Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival as one of the sponsors and supporters of the Reel Asian X TIFF 2023 Reception, which was held on September 11 at the Toronto International Film Festival.
This year, the event brought together over 300+ filmmakers and festival attendees for the Toronto International Film Festival 2023. Together with Reel Asian and TIFF, we celebrated Asian Pacific Islander filmmakers from all over the world who were in attendance and some who presented their films at the festival. A record number of Asian Pacific filmmakers/ producers/actors/publicist/folks in the industry – all came together at the spacious rooftop patio of the Toronto Reel Asian office in downtown Toronto. This was a very special and great event.
Special thanks goes out to Toronto Reel Asian's Deanna Wong and Aram Collier for spearheading this annual event and making this one of the highlights at TIFF 2023.
