About
Get ready for an inspiring evening of creative storytelling and big ideas, featuring AWGIE-nominated screenwriters, actors, and standup comedians Lawrence Leung, Urvi Majumdar, and Marisa Nanakhorn Brown. The conversation will be moderated by producer Lisa Wang.We’ll kick things off with a Q&A panel exploring the art of pitching — diving into personal stories, creative challenges, and industry wins in a candid, engaging discussion.
Then, watch sparks fly in a live pitching competition as emerging Asian Australian filmmakers present their original projects to our expert panel. One standout pitch will win a $500 cash prize and the opportunity to collaborate on future creative projects.
This event is part of a broader celebration of Chinatown’s rich cultural legacy and contemporary relevance — spotlighting bold, genre-spanning storytelling in drama, comedy, action, and more. We’re proud to amplify Asian Australian voices and champion fresh, diverse perspectives on screen.
