Our Crowdfunding Groups
Although this campaign has concluded, if you would still like to make a donation to support Screenshot: Asia, you may always do so here.
Dear Donors:
We wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for your generous support. With 80 donors, we ended up reaching over 90% of our goal! With these funds, we will be able to screen more films and bring more artists into the community.
If you would like to learn more about our free (or low cost) Asian film events, please sign up for our email listserv (https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/asc/outreach/newsletter); we’ll tell you everything that’s on its way! In Spring 2020, we are excited about showing a silent Indian film complete with a live musical performance and brand-new score, as well as a screening of one of the best films from the Philippines and a documentary on Vietnamese Americans.
Thanks so much,
Kirsten and Lynn

Dear Supporters and Friends of SCREENSHOT: ASIA,
Good news, thanks to generous donors like you, SCREENSHOT: ASIA has rolled right by the halfway mark, is at 60% and going strong! We have a couple of weeks left in the campaign and we are determined to reach our goal.
First of all, we’d like to thank those that have already donated. Your support will assist us with bringing Asian film and media to Pittsburgh. Your donation will help everyone in the region look to stories beyond our borders and think about peoples all over the globe, as well as support the cultures of the diverse people in Pittsburgh.
One more ask, though. Please post (or repost) the campaign website out to those friends that you think would be excited about Asian media. Every donation helps, and with your assistance we can reach our goal amount!
In the meantime, please check out the new trailer made by the industrious film and social media interns at SCREENSHOT: ASIA!
You are the unsung hero of filmmaking, capturing dialogue and sound, all while holding a heavy boom out of frame.
You are the organizer that puts equipment where it needs to be. Without you, there are no cameras, no tracks, and no dollies.
You are the base of the production. You make light happen, and, in film, nothing can work without light.
You are the workhorse of the production. You are the first in line to make images magical.
AKA, the Sayombhu Mukdeeprom . Recognized as an artist in your own right, you are the person for whom the phrase “painting with light” was made.
AKA, the Henry Golding. Your beautiful face brings happiness, sadness, fear, and elation to audiences everywhere.
AKA the Mindy Kaling. You make the words that form the backbone of the film. You give characters desire, wit, adoration, and make them the humans that audiences grow to love.
AKA, the Abbas Kiarostami. You are the master of your domain—the film set—and make every piece fall into place. It’s your job to bring meaning from chaos.
AKA, the Akira Kurosawa. You are the executive who makes it happen. You see brilliance and allow it to shine.
