Chew the Scene Recap | SDAFF 2024
Chew The Scene 2024 transported us to a whole new dimension with its amazing array of delicious food shared between awe-inspiring filmmakers, and friends—both old and new!
A huge thank you to our staff, volunteers and the 16 AAPI chefs and restaurants that came together at the UCSD Park and Market to create not only an unforgettable night but also the successful launch of the 🌟 25th San Diego Asian Film Festival 🌟
The evening wrapped up with a juried food competition featuring guest judges SD City Council member Kent Lee (@cmkentlee), Ivan Leung (@asianivan) director of Extremely Unique Dynamic, Pilar Kuri of San Diego Latino Film Festival and Mariette Pascasio, Pacific Arts Movement member.
Congratulations to the winners of our CTS Awards Competition!
