Gold House
Hi, new friends! I’m Christine, General Manager of Gold House’s Creative Equity Fund. Gold House unites and invests in Asian and Pacific Islander diasporic talent, stories, and companies. While we might be best known for our work with leading Hollywood studios, our A100 list, annual Gold Gala (the single most visible Asian Pacific event in the world), or our venture capital fund Gold House Ventures, I specifically oversee our next-generation talent development programs and independent film production. My team operates 14 different accelerator, networking, granting, and prize programs for the most promising emerging talent across film, music, journalism, and contemporary arts. Our newest initiative, Gold House Studios, develops and produces films and series that we believe are cultural firsts for the AAPI community. We’re incredibly proud of our slate and ability to originate our own stories. While our very first funded film, DIDI, won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024, we premiered ROCK SPRINGS by Vera Miao just this past week at Sundance. ROCK SPRINGS is a horror film that follows a grieving, multi-generational family as they move to a new town, only to discover there is something monstrous hidden in the town’s history and the woods behind their home. The film’s second act stars Benedict Wong and Jimmy O. Yang and depicts the Rock Springs massacre of 1885, during which immigrant Chinese miners were brutally attacked as a result of racial prejudice and economic competition. To support a film that both entertains and brings lesser-known historical events of our history to light, all while supporting a visionary female filmmaker’s first feature, is incredibly exciting.
