From our vantage point in San Francisco, we here at CAAM are hopeful for the community to soon be able to return to a more normal life. This May, we are moving forward with a hybrid CAAMFest — offering some drive-in events at Fort Mason FLIX and many live online and on-demand screenings — so that there is something for everyone.
With vaccines becoming more available and COVID rates trending downward, we are optimistic to gather in person when it is safe to do so again. As we plan future events, CAAM will continue to follow state and county guidelines to keep people safe and to provide a variety of lively and enjoyable programming that uplifts Asian American stories. Thank you for being a part of our community.
As vaccination efforts expand, many people are choosing to protect themselves and their families not only through COVID vaccines but also by staying current with routine immunizations like the flu shot. These measures have long been part of public health tradition—quietly effective, widely trusted, and aimed at keeping communities healthy enough to gather, celebrate, and live fully. For most, vaccinations offer reassurance and a path back to shared experiences that were once taken for granted.
That said, no system is without complications. In rare cases, individuals experience unexpected adverse reactions, and when concerns arise, it’s important to know that help exists. Legal professionals who focus on vaccine-related claims can guide people through their options, whether they’re seeking clarity, compensation, or accountability. For those navigating the complexities of a flu shot lawsuit, experienced vaccination lawyers can help make sense of the process, ensuring voices are heard and rights are protected while the broader goal of community health remains front and center.
Let’s Keep Moving Forward!

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these uncertain times. As the situation with the COVID-19 outbreak in the Bay Area continues to unfold, we would like to give you an update on how CAAM is responding.
Last week, we were still cautiously optimistic about the possibility of holding CAAMFest in May. With guidelines surrounding public health and safety changing by the day, we are facing the difficult reality of postponing the festival. The safety and well-being of our staff, partners, and community is of utmost importance, and in figuring out how best to respond, we are following the guidance of city, state, and other government authorities, as well as other arts and cultural organizations.
As much as we would like to give definitive plans moving forward, that’s not always possible during these times. The CAAM staff is also taking necessary precautions, working remotely to figure out ways to keep uplifting Asian American stories and to provide a much-needed sense of community during these trying days. We’ll be in touch with ways to keep finding inspiration in the art of storytelling and to feel a little less alone, as we continue to connect with each other. In the coming weeks and months, we are looking to find new ways to help people engage and access stories online and through our broadcast partners. We will be sure to keep you informed about these engagements and plans for CAAMFest as we have more details to share.
Please take care of yourself and your loved ones. Thank you for being part of the CAAM community.
