What a Closing Night to remember 💫 HAAPIFEST 2025 came to a powerful close with laughter, emotion, and a whole lot of love — and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible artists who helped us end on a high note.

A huge thank you to Fred Le for sharing The Empathizer — a bold, honest, and unforgettable story that moved us all.

To Viet Nguyen, Andy Van, Sean Porter, and Alex Duong — your presence, your energy, and your support helped make the night electric. You reminded us how storytelling and community go hand in hand.

To everyone who joined us to celebrate the final night of HAAPIFEST — thank you for showing up and showing love. Let’s carry this momentum forward, together.

Still buzzing from Saturday night at HAAPIFEST — and we have YOU to thank! 💛

June 7 was a SOLD-OUT event filled with incredible energy, powerful films, and an audience that showed up with love and curiosity. From filmmakers to friends, first-timers to longtime supporters — you helped make it one of the most memorable nights of the festival.

To every storyteller who shared their work, and every guest who showed up to listen, laugh, and connect — thank you for making HAAPIFEST what it is: a celebration of community, identity, and the power of AAPI voices.
