“Now, more than ever, we need windows to other cultures and countries to bridge understanding and compassion. This program brings powerful dramatic works from the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, and South Korea.”
— Eseel Borlasaek
Catch Direk Eileen Cabling (Basurero) and Direk Sreylin Meas (California Dreaming) share more about the stories about their respective short films in the Q&A for Windows into the World Shorts Section of the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival 2020.

Ed Sum aka The Vintage Tempest, compares Basurero to the crime drama Sicario.
Ed likens watching Basurero to that of a thriller movie. He said he had goosebumps watching the film and hated to be in Bong’s (the main character) shoes.

Counting down! It’s a dream come true to be premiering at LAPFF. I have been attending this prolific festival produced by Visual Communications in Hollywood for years. VC has been one of the great supporters in the US for Asian American and Pacific Islander Filmmakers. Their perseverance and vision are fierce! The largest festival of its kind in Southern California.
