BECOME A SPONSOR
Since 2002, the Asian Film Festival of Dallas (AFFD) has celebrated and supported Asian and Asian-American filmmakers. Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, AFFD is the longest running film festival of its kind in the Southwest. Over the last 22 years, our festival has provided opportunities for over 400 filmmakers to share their vision of the rich diversity of Asian culture through the medium of cinema. Festival goers get a chance to experience other cultures, ideas, and locations without leaving their seats in Dallas, Texas.
AFFD’s audience is very diverse and inclusive mix of college educated professionals. The majority of our festival goers are between the ages of 20 and 60. Our festival draws patrons from all over Texas and other geographic regions.
The continued success of AFFD depends on the support of organizations and individuals from our community who believe in the importance of bringing the best of Asian and Asian-American films to the DFW metroplex. By contributing to AFFD, you are contributing to the growth of the arts and culture in our community and gaining exposure for your organization and/or business.
Your support is important to us. We like to customize our sponsorship packages to best match your marketing objectives. Our hope is to create mutually beneficial partnerships that will continue well into the future.
For all inquires regarding festival sponsorship, please contact our Director of Development, Erin Nicole Parisi at Erin@asianfilmdallas.com.
