This week, the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE) and The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) unveiled a new initiative called the Rising Filmmakers Finishing Fund. This fund offers two aspiring filmmakers of Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander descent post-production grants worth $50,000 each for their second to fifth feature films. The lucky recipients will also gain valuable networking opportunities within the circles of CAPE and TAAF.

As a movie buff, I find myself drawn to late-night talk shows that push the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable humor for television. Shows like “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, “The Tonight Show”, and “The Late Show” fall into this category, where they fearlessly tackle jokes that might otherwise be deemed off-limits by broadcast and cable networks.

In more conversational terms: The latest notable figure to enter the mainstream entertainment world, particularly television, is Taylor Sheridan. Known for creating blockbuster shows such as Yellowstone, it was just a matter of time before Taylor was inducted into The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Who else from western film has made the cut, and what exactly about Sheridan’s work earned him this recognition?

In the forthcoming book titled, “Fight: Unveiling the Wildest Battle for the White House,” authors Jonathan Allen and Ami Parnes lift the veil to disclose that Harris campaign advisers wagered on the impact of an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and Beyoncé’s performance of their campaign theme song at a Houston rally, believing it could sway crucial votes from young white men and women in a tight contest against former President Donald Trump.

It’s fascinating to discover that the actor from “We Were The Lucky Ones” doesn’t just share a screen presence with his fellow “Son of Poseidon” actor; they have formed a genuine bond off-screen as well. The veteran from “Percy Jackson” revealed to IMDb that he has developed relationships with the newcomers carrying on his character’s role, and as a longtime enthusiast, my heart swells with joy.
