Our mission is to empower and inspire the next generation of Filipino American creatives, by providing a space for learning, collaboration, and artistic expression – challenging the cultural norm that pursuing a career in the creative industry is “impractical.” Our vision is to bridge cultures and communities through the art of collective creativity, bringing Filipino talent ranging from singers, dancers, filmmakers, and notable influencers to the forefront of appreciated careers. We aim to foster a deeper understanding of traditional Filipino culture (and the limitations that stem from it) while redefining how one can turn their passion into profession. ROOTS AND ROUTES The theme for this year's summit is ROOTS AND ROUTES - focusing on exploring Filipino identity through creativity, culture, and community. Bridge The Gap’s Creative Summit also highlights the importance of finding your true identity from your passion within the culture around you. Community is a big pillar for Bridge The Gap, as we believe that one of the most beautiful parts of the Filipino American experience is the community it fosters. Be a part of the movement! As a new nonprofit organization led by the younger generation - we are putting in the work to create spaces that are not only building our community, but building our future. We feel incredibly fortunate to have a platform where we can celebrate Filipino American representation, amplify our voices, honor where we come from, and create opportunities for the generations coming after us.

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story. "Carnival of Souls" (1962. 80 min. PG.) - Ingmar Bergman meets The Twilight Zone! Enter the dreamlike world of “Carnival of Souls” — eerie, atmospheric and hugely influential. Intended to have the “look of Bergman and the feel of. Cocteau”, the film follows the sole survivor of a fatal accident as she finds herself becoming more disconnected from the world— being mysteriously drawn to an abandoned carnival pavilion and experiencing visions that blur the line between reality and the supernatural. Starring Candace Hilligos and Sidney Berger. Visit: https://coronado.librarycalendar.com/event/film-forum-coronado-44644

Join us Thursday, April 23 for the premiere "Coyote Tracks," the latest film from Executive Producer Wes Bruce, and Director Ryan Shoemaker at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. About the Film "Coyote Tracks" is a genre-blurring cinematic journey where myth and reality intertwine through the eyes of a wandering Coyote. As he travels through an unfamiliar landscape, he gathers the stories of the people he encounters—transforming them into songs that reflect the spirit and memory of a community. Developed over three years as part of an immersive installation by The Curious Life, the film is rooted in a deeply collaborative process across Indiana. Featuring local artists and cultural practitioners—including jazz musicians, a limestone sculptor, and an African dance collective—each participant plays a version of themselves, contributing to what the filmmakers describe as a “verité fantasy.” At its core, "Coyote Tracks" explores how stories are created, shared, and carried forward. It serves as both a meditation on our overwhelming access to information and a reflection on the human need to find meaning within it. The film offers a poetic glimpse into the creative process—messy, beautiful, and ongoing—while honoring the ways communities preserve their histories through storytelling. Event Details 6 p.m. -- Screening 1 + Panel Panel: Hear from members of Fleet Science Center, New Children's Museum, and The Curious Life as they dive into the topics of museum work in a rapidly changing world, how to center community engagement in creative practice, and what it takes to realize bold, evolving projects within structures that demand certainty—from funding to governance to permitting. 8 p.m.-- Screening 2 Please Note: There will be photography and video recording during this event. By attending the event, you consent to and authorize, without further compensation, the use and reproduction of any film or photographs.
