ASIAN CINEVISION PRODUCES
TEN GET-OUT-THE-VOTE PSAs
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CHANNEL
New
York, NY Asian CineVision (ACV) in collaboration with
WooArt International produced a series of ten PSAs for
the International Channel ranging from 10 to 60 seconds
in a Get-Out-The-Vote campaign targeting the Asian American
community. Themes involve why Asian Americans should
vote to opinions on healthcare, education, and homeland
security. The "We care. We decide. We vote."
PSAs are non-partisan and focus on the 18-35 age demographic.
"As Asian Americans are statistically the least
likely to vote, I commend International Channel's commitment
to helping to bring our community to the polls on November
2nd," says Executive Director Risa Morimoto who
also directed the spots.
Shot
over three days in New York City with all non-actors,
every day Asian Americans were given an opportunity
to voice their political opinions. When they felt issues
did not affect them, they still understood the importance
and relevance of exercising our voting right.
The
ten spots are currently on rotation on the Asia Street
block, primetime on the International Channel (check
local listings), KTSF-TV in San Francisco or online
at www.asiancinevision.org,
www.apiavote.org,
or www.internationalchannel.com.
