Asian and Asian American communities have an exciting and diverse history that influences all aspects of culture in the American South – from cuisine and architecture to dance and fashion. The cultural contributions add a flavor that is unique and undeniable: The Sauce. These shorts, by inaugural fellows of this new mentorship program, represent the diversity and innovation of a new generation of Asian American filmmakers in the South. The Sauce is a partnership between the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) and the New Orleans Video Access Center (NOVAC) led by filmmaker mentors Saleem Reshamwala and Darcy McKinnon.
