ATG Against The Grain Productions Inc. was founded to produce films and media that promote awareness and unity of Asian American culture and identity, while functioning as a traditional non–profit using media projects to raise funds for international orphanages. A little out of the ordinary in its methods, ATG is an innovative resource that gives voice to significant, relevant and untold stories in the community. These projects will create future educational, cultural, and artistic opportunities for Asians and Asian Americans. Led by a Board of experienced Asian American professionals and dedicated community leaders, they also host charity events (FASHION FOR A PASSION and COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE), highlighting the talents and work of local and national Asian American artists and also participate in community outreach events at Vietnamese culture camps, Asian celebrations, cultural festivals and film festivals to bring together and promote Asian American artists everywhere.
