ABOUT
EXNW is the future of racialized global storytelling and entertainment across all continents.
The Racial Equity Screen Office (RESO) is proud to announce the launch of a new global summit in Vancouver, BC to highlight, elevate, and empower racialized creatives in and across film, tv, streaming, gaming, and animation. East by Northwest (EXNW) is where the creative world comes together to catalyze the development of creative content and storytelling by racialized creators, and create a more inclusive and equitable future.
Attendees will be part of a vibrant new community of producers, funders, agents, talent, executives, policymakers, and through the Summit, be equipped with insights, connections, and imagination needed to launch them into new creative horizons.
This groundbreaking new gathering is a bold first step in building a new space for people across multiple sectors to engage with and focus on racialized content producers and creatives, and the unique possibilities for sharing and telling their stories to the world. For this inaugural EXNW Summit, RESO is thrilled to partner with Gold House, the leading Asian Pacific cultural ecosystem that unites, invests in, and champions Asian Pacific and other marginalized content creators and companies.
The Opportunity
A global summit of this magnitude provides a boundless realm of opportunity for tastemakers, leaders and talent to connect and grow together. As EXNW develops and changes alongside humanity’s perpetual motion, we will invest in our communities through programming, talent incubators, and building closed-loop content creation systems for racialized creatives to cultivate their passions, visions and stories within their respective industries.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
EXNW and RESO are grateful to live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We thank the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities that have cared for Turtle Island since time immemorial. With this acknowledgment, we remind ourselves of discriminatory, racist, and colonial practices that have and continue to create barriers for Indigenous peoples and communities across Turtle Island.
