Santa Barbara International Film Festival Announces Dates for 2025 – Film News in Brief


The Pasifika Entertainment Advancement Komiti announced their PEAK Conversations panel will take place in Los Angeles on May 1.

Sponsored by Amazon MGM Studios, the panel will feature “Moana” and “Mean Girls” actress Auli’i Cravalho, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Sasha Colby and Gettin’ Rad Productions Founder Naomi Scott. “May is AAPI Heritage Month yet you’ll find Pasifika (or Pacific Islander) people are rarely prioritized and often erased in celebrations despite us being named in them,” said Kristian Fanene Schmidt, co-founder and executive director of PEAK. “We are so grateful to Focus Features and Panavision for their inspiring support of our emerging filmmakers,” said O’Shea” Myles, senior career services advisor for the SCA Office of Industry Relations.
