Immigrating from China at the age of 5, Simu was raised in Mississauga, Ontario. After graduating from the Richard Ivey School of Business and working at a top accounting firm for nearly a year, Liu was laid off. Deciding to pursue work in film and television instead, he quickly landed roles on series such as Heroes Reborn (2015), Nikita (2010), Warehouse 13 (2009) and Air Crash Investigation (2003). The Gold List honors the most outstanding Asian Pacific achievements in the film industry each year. It was created to accelerate the fair inclusion of Asian Pacific creatives and projects in mainstream media and during the crucial awards season. Since its inception three years ago, 27 Gold List honorees have gone on to receive Academy Award wins or nominations, including last year’s historic wins for Everything Everywhere All At Once, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, “Naatu Naatu”, and The Elephant Whisperer.

This report was built on a number of data sources, including the Luminate Film & TV database and McKinsey surveys of API consumers and API entertainment industry leaders. In addition, we conducted more than 30 interviews and focus groups and surveyed more than 100 entertainment industry leaders to learn about their experiences and discuss findings and potential ideas for the industry to pursue. The report states that accurate API representation in media could potentially lead to an additional $2 to $4.4 billion increase in industry revenues, as half of API consumers would be willing to spend more money and time on films and television shows that more authentically represent their experiences.

Several Gold List winners and honorable mentions have gone on to receive major award recognition.

Sanzo, an Asian-inspired sparking water company, is one portfolio company Feng highlighted. The company's founder Sandro Roco is Filipino American, and its products use Asian flavors. "Diversity of the gender and ethnicity of our founders is important, but also diversity of ideas in terms of Asians starting companies that serve our population or community," Feng said.

Representation

Our analysis found the presence of API talent off-screen is connected with higher API representation on-screen. Among US-distributed television shows with no API talent in key off-screen roles, about 3 percent had at least one API lead. But more than 21 percent of shows with at least one API person in a key off-screen role had an API lead (Exhibit 6). Among movies with no API talent in key off-screen roles, just under 6 percent have at least one API lead.

Gold List 2024

From funding to marketing partnerships, founders connect with Gold House’s premier cultural leadership network to dramatically accelerate their business ambitions. At the close of an exceptional year of challenges and successes, Gold House is launching Gold House Futures—a new initiative that helps ensure the success of emerging AAPI creatives, entrepreneurs, and social impact leaders. By blending creativity and business in investment and distribution pipelines, Gold House Futures will provide investment, amplification and the support of the community with leading corporations across film, art, technology and more.

Best Performance in a Supporting Role

Stephanie Hsu can be seen in the A24 Oscar winning and BAFTA nominated film “Everything Everywhere All At Once” from the directing team Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert). Stephanie stars in the dual role “Joy/Jobu.” The story follows the mother/daughter relationship through a multiverse with infinite versions of their lives also starring Michelle Yeoh, Key Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis. The film debuted at SXSW and released in theaters April 2022 to rave reviews. The film has reached box office records for an indie arthouse film crossing the $100 million mark in global ticket sales, the first A24 film to hit that benchmark.

It is one of the most culturally and architecturally important homes in the area. Through new programs and platforms, Asian Pacific talent will gain super network access to world class cultural expertise and exposure while WME’s mentors will be the voices they may have wished for when they were just starting their careers,” said Gold House’s Christine Yi. Media representation and economic influence are becoming increasingly intertwined. Together, they have the power to reshape culture for AAPI communities while sustaining influence economically--and the key to sustainability is in the next generation of leaders. Over the past three years, Gold House created a model that strategically aligns the powers of media and business to generate an infrastructure that supports the future success of the AAPI community--and others. Given the changing nature of the industry, executives could also explore creative solutions to improve representation, such as analyzing the potential of ad sales through API content.

She has since appeared in multiple movies and serials and won several more awards. She had met him on a train in 2008 and had obtained her father’s permission to date and marry. She was a boxer in 100 Yen Love, which was fortunate since she had practiced boxing when she was fourteen-years-old. She won the award for Best Actress at the 42nd Japan Academy Prize for her work on 2018’s Shoplifters. By then she was considered one of several top young actresses in Japan next to Yu Aoi, Miyazaki Aoi and perhaps Aso Kumiko.

About the report

This is in addition to an original pool in the main house which was completed in 1959. In 2016, Goldstein announced that the home would be donated to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) upon his death. The donation includes almost everything in the house including the furniture and art.

We amplify our event-driven efforts via social media through our network of athletes and celebrities,” explains Spencer. Another one-of-a-kind feature of the bedroom is the closet which features a turnstile to allow Goldstein to easily view his wardrobe. This model has since driven several AAPI-led films to debut at the top of the box office, including “The Farewell,” “Parasite,” Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (which saw record-breaking numbers this past September) and “Eternals,” the first Marvel film led by a woman of color. To celebrate powerful portrayals of the community, Gold House created Gold Open, a platform to ensure the success of AAPI-led films opening weekend and, in effect, manufacture an AAPI film market alongside top AAPI creatives. A pivotal year for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, 2021 began with a surge in racially motivated attacks across the country, fueling a movement that rallied communities to unite against anti-Asian hate.

Gold House Ventures describes its work as "market-first social impact." The fund is a for-profit initiative for its limited partners, but all general partner fees and returns will be donated back to the nonprofit. That’s why we power and propel Asian Pacific communities across every corner of culture. When someone breaks free of societal constraints to reach new heights, it’s not just people from our community who benefit. “Your leadership through legislative action will increase the likelihood that the administration does what is necessary to confiscate Putin’s billions,” wrote Chairman Garry Kasparov and CEO Uriel Epshtein. The REPO Act, which would authorize Biden to confiscate the frozen Russian assets in U.S. banks and transfer them to a special fund for Ukraine, is part of the foreign aid package that was stalled for months in the House.
