OCA-GLA is proud to co-present "UPLOADED: THE ASIAN AMERICAN MOVEMENT" at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
Five years ago, it was hard to name more than 10 recognizable Asian entertainers in mainstream America and the few that could be named only played stereotypical roles like the nerd or the martial artist. Even more problematic was the lack of acknowledgement of this problem by the general public. However, in the past few years, groups of young Asian American artists are emerging in entertainment with roots in new media, specifically YouTube. They are taking action into their own hands and redefining how Asian Americans are perceived and valued in society. This documentary explores the visibility of Asian Americans in pop culture since the inception of new media and focuses on the current struggles and successes of important Asian Americans in the areas of music, film, and dance.

About the CTO Summer Internship
OCA-GLA would like to thank the Daniel & Jeri Okamoto Floyd Family for their generous sponsorship of the Chiyo Tanaka Okamoto (CTO) Internship. The CTO Internship was launched in 2012 in honor of Chiyo Tanaka Okamoto. She faced much discrimination in her lifetime as an Asian American woman in Wyoming, but emerged to be an inspiration to her daughter, Jeri, as well as many others, through her public service. This year will be the 20th anniversary of her passing. Through the CTO Internship, OCA-GLA and the Daniel & Jeri Okamoto Floyd Family hope to encourage the next generation of Asian Pacific American leaders to serve their communities with the same grace and compassion that Chiyo Tanaka Okamoto had.
