Celebrating Three Decades of Asian Pacific Representation in Hollywood: A Glimpse into CAPE's 35 Year Journey The Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE) is marking a significant milestone this October – its 35th anniversary.
As the entertainment industry grapples with increasing demands for greater diversity and representation, it's worth examining the organization's history and impact on the lives of Asian Pacific Islanders working behind the camera.
Founded in 1991 by Wenda Fong, Fritz Friedman, and Chris Lee, CAPE began as a space for community building among Asian Pacific Islanders in the entertainment industry.
