Tasveer

Did you know less than 1% of South Asians are seen on Hollywood screens? Let's change that narrative together.

Help us reach our goal of $5000 to help South Asian Filmmakers access the resources they need to excel!

Tasveer, a nonprofit film and art organization based in Seattle, was founded in March 2002 in response to the rise in hate and stereotypes against South Asians following 9/11. In the quest to elevate South Asian representation, Tasveer empowers underrepresented South Asian filmmakers through exhibitions, resources, and funding. 

🌍 Global Impact: With 25.2% of the world population, South Asians deserve representation.

🎬 Lack of Representation: Only 4 South Asian show creators and a handful of lead actors? It's time for change.

💡 Opportunity for Growth: 5.4 million South Asians in the U.S. - let's bring diverse stories to life!
