The Business Online: Beyond Representation with South Asian Actors

Join us for an exciting discussion that brings together South Asian actors who are changing the face of American and Canadian film and television. After decades of not having enough representation in casting, these actors have made a mark through their roles in successful films and TV series, showing that South Asians can play a variety of roles and representation can mean many things. Featuring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever), Tiya Sircar (The Good Place), Hamza Haq (Transplant), and Sugith Varghese (Kim’s Convenience). Moderated by actor Kausar Mohammed.

Co-presented with the Coalition of South Asian Film Festivals (CoSAFF) and the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA).
