Open Call: Graduating BFA/MFA Asian Filmmakers Screening
Accent Sisters
89 5th Avenue
NY 10003
Deadline
Posted
This open call is for Asian BFA and MFA students graduating in 2026, whose thesis work is a short film. On May 29th, Accent Sisters is hosting a screening gathering. A night where your work goes live in front of an audience that genuinely wants to be there, people in this community at New York City who are curious about and eager to watch what you made, what you care about, and where you’re headed next.
They know the bigger stages exist, and they hope you chase them too. But they also believe that every film deserves a real audience, and there are more people here who want to watch your work than you might think—people who will laugh, cry, and carry something home with them after the lights come on.
Come show them what you’ve made! ╰─❨✧✧❩─╯
