ABOUT:
Directed by political-entertainment crossover JEFF ADACHI, the elected Public Defender of San Francisco County, THE SLANTED SCREEN (www.slantedscreen.com) pokes fun at Hollywood’s one-dimensional portrayal of Asian men by focusing on Asian American men in film and television. THE SLANTED SCREEN features in-depth interviews with actors such as Will Yun Lee, Dustin Nguyen, Jason Scott Lee, Bobby Lee, and Mako, who has made over 90 feature films and appeared in over 100 television programs over his 40 year career, and many others.

Immediately following the screening, a panel discussion entitled “Influencing the Image-Makers,” entertainment industry executives will discuss strategies to increase diversity in film and television. The panel members will be asked to respond to specific questions and share their ideas on how to increase and improve diversity within the industry.

The program will also include a special tribute to Mako, who passed away last July. EVENT SPONSORS: This event is sponsored by the following organizations:
