Sponsorship Opportunities & Tickets

On April 5th, luminaries from the world of cinema and guests will gather to celebrate a milestone—Asian Pop-Up Cinema's 10th Anniversary. The gala, themed "Bridging Cultures: A Decade of REEL Connections!" pays homage to a decade of cinematic artistry while highlighting APUC’s journey and mission to promote cultural understanding while empowering storytelling through filmmaking. The gala will weave the tapestry of APUC's remarkable journey and introduce the next chapter of APUC’s growth. We wouldn't be able to accomplish our course championing Asian stories without your support. Please contact Sophia Wong Boccio, Founder & Executive Director, if you have further questions.
