Here’s another moment from CAAMFest 2026! The CAAM-funded documentary THE AUNTIE SEWING SQUAD: RESISTANCE PLAYBOOK had its Bay Area Premiere at our festival. Director Valerie Soe and performance artist and activist Kristina Wong talked about the importance of organizing and helping others throughout difficult times.

What started as a small grassroots collective of primarily BIPOC women volunteers, known as the Aunties, during the COVID19 pandemic, grew into a nationwide network of more than 800 volunteers, sewing and donating masks to historically disenfranchised communities of color.

We’re deeply honored that BEFORE THE MOON FALLS received the award for Best Documentary at CAAMFest 2026. Thank you to the Center for Asian American Media, the jury, and everyone connected with the film.

Documentary filmmaking can be an act of patience, trust, and care. To see the film recognized not only for its story but for the humanity behind it's incredibly moving.

Thank you for holding space with us. 🤍
