“To know that we have the confidence of #StartSmall to be able to truly pilot this, to grow from the six-month pilot the city has funded to an 18-month pilot, to be able to deepen the learnings and also to be able to add artists, is truly extraordinary,” said YBCA CEO Deborah Cullinan.
“It’s actually emotional,” she added. “There are people that have been so hard hit, that were struggling before, that are one minute away from a life-changing event, and we are able to provide some security. This also helps us address the systemic inequity and insecurity in our sector and our city.”

“It’s not CAAMFest without H.P. Mendoza involved in some way,” says CAAMFest Festival and Exhibitions Director Masashi Niwano.
Mendoza made his first indelible impression on movie fans in 2006 when “Colma: The Musical,” the Richard Wong film for which Mendoza wrote the screenplay and songs and acted, made its world premiere at what was then the San Francisco International Film Festival (now CAAMFest). Since then, the filmmaker, musician, composer, actor and writer has been a regular participant at the annual event.
