White Rabbit Trust

What a way to close out #ACF2026 💛✨ Our final night of the fest was packed with unforgettable performances, huge laughs, surprise moments, and so much love in the room. Every year, we walk away feeling emotional about how special this community really is, and this year was no exception. 🙌 Thank you to our incredible performers, dedicated volunteers, generous product sponsors, charity partner @iss_nyc , and of course everyone who came out to support live AAPI comedy and community this week. It truly takes a village to make Asian Comedy Fest happen, and we’re so grateful to continue building this together year after year. These are just a few moments from an amazing final night, and we’re only getting started 👀 More photos, videos, and updates coming soon. THANK YOU, NYC!!! 🫶

If you needed a sign to support @mocanyc , consider this your lucky tile. I curated a mahjong night at MOCA and now I’m convinced the museum should do “after dark” more often. Tiles clicking, glasses clinking, retro music, and the kind of nostalgia that makes you remember why culture matters. Thank you to our host @oliviainflowers , and to our supporters @whiterabbittrust and @mijentatequila . Delicious bites by @choibites , tea by @drinktheqi , music by @iamartela , and mahjong by @dragonsdenmahjong . Photos by @alexdanifotografo and @bfa

ROSEMEAD explores Asian mental health from many perspectives. See each one for yourself. Now playing in theaters nationwide, tickets are available in bio. We're honored to have hosted @lucyliu , producer and lead actor of @rosemeadfilm , together with Israa Nasir (@well.guide ), our Director of Clinical Strategy, for a vulnerable and honest conversation about breaking silence across generations and our community. Thank you to our cohosts and partners @capeusa and @whiterabbittrust ! #intergenerationalhealing #rosemead #asianmentalhealth #cyclebreaking

Congrats to @rosemeadfilm for a fantastic opening weekend! We had the best time co-hosting the screening and moderating the Q&A thanks to @whiterabbittrust ! Thank you to @lucyliu for introducing the screening and @holdtheframe @lawrenceshou @marilynsfu for answering our questions! 🫶🏼 We hope you all had a great time! 📸 @e.lin_____

Last Saturday, the Asian American Dream (AAD) community experienced the powerful film, Rosemead. Based on a true story, the film confronts heavy but crucial themes: undiagnosed mental illness, the stigma surrounding it within the AAPI community, cultural expectations, family love, and systemic failure. The profound experience of engaging with this film deeply informs our work and reinforces the AAD vision to empower the next generation of AAPI leaders to be confident, take space, and dream and achieve fearlessly. A huge thank you to Yao King and @whiterabbittrust for strengthening collective efforts that support AAPI creatives and providing this essential opportunity for the AAD family. We were honored to join the post-screening conversation alongside @anisehealth and @lucyliu . By speaking openly about mental health and amplifying these vital AAPI stories, we can build a future where every AAPI voice is heard. 📸: @e.lin_____

Rosemead Community Screenings Last week, over 10 non-profits and organizations brought their communities to watch Rosemead and engage in conversation with the filmmakers afterwards. Favorite moment: the standing ovation Lucy received as she entered the theater when the credits rolled 💛 We can’t begin to describe the number of messages we received after, reflecting how deeply the themes in this film resonated with our communities and guests. Our first screening was followed by a Q&A with the founders of Anise Health, a culturally attuned digital mental health platform for the Asian Community, author and psychotherapist Israa Nasir, and actress and producer Lucy Liu. The screening was hosted by CAPE and White Rabbit Trust. @anisehealth @capeusa @lucyliu @well.guide The second screening was followed by Q&A with Rosemead’s filmmakers, including director Eric Lin, writer Marilyn Fu, and actor Lawrence Shou. The screening was hosted by Asian CineVision and White Rabbit Trust. @asiancinevision @holdtheframe @marilynsfu @lawrenceshou Thank you to our community partners The Asian American Dream, @aaartsalliance , @cpc_nyc , @mixedasianmedia , @aaww_nyc , @ueaanyc , @welcome.to.chinatown , @oca_ny , and the LYFT AAPI ERG. Thank you to our volunteers, @shensayshen @crystal.aurelia @bohnjai @mbreitton @yeh4willa @bagelmunch And thank you to the Rosemead filmmakers and communities who took the time to engage with each other about mental health, this film, and filmmaking. 📷: @e.lin_____ @rosemeadfilm 2025.12.06 💛

@lucyliu ’s latest film asks, “What happens when silence swallows us whole?” We had the chance to explore that question with her in a screening of ROSEMEAD (@rosemeadfilm ) and a Q&A about mental health between Lucy and Israa Nasir (@well.guide ), our Director of Clinical Strategy. Catch the limited theatrical run this week and next! There are a few more in New York and it opens in LA this weekend. Screening dates and a link to get tickets are in our stories 🔗⬆️ It’s a big story and a heavy topic but we look forward to how it will expand the important conversation about Asian American mental health. A huge thanks to @capeusa and @whiterabbittrust for hosting this with us! 🎥 @nikhil.saboo 📸 @e.lin_____
