Introduction to Our Team

The site will continue to be overseen by Jeannette Paulson Hereniko who was the founding director of the Hawaii International Film Festival (1981 to 1996) and is the President of NETPAC/USA (the Network for the Promotion of Asian Pacific Cinema in the United States.)

Content will be provided by a team of Asian and Pacific film experts including Dr. Shaoyi Sun who was centrally involved in developing the original site; Professor Wimal Dissanayake, distinguished Asian film scholar and author; and Professor Vilsoni Hereniko, award winning filmmaker and Pacific Island scholar.

Content contributors will continue to include leading Asian and Pacific film industry leaders, film scholars, critics, programmers and filmmakers, many from the NETPAC international organization.

COO of the site is Chaoying Bossert who will oversee operations. Dr. Pamela DaGrossa serves as the site's Copy Editor. Coda Studios, headed by Dan Andersson, designed the website and will oversee the integrity of the design, upkeep and security of the site in cooperation with Ji Sun Ward.
