In a special live presentation, EXNW proudly presents @rags2richmond: Live at the EXNW Ball! Featuring cast members from the upcoming feature film--including Jonathan Wong, Leslie Kwan, Michael Delleva, Tony Giroux, and Howie Lai--alongside special guests @osricchau and Kristina Lao, this one-night-only musical performance offers an exclusive first look into the vibrant, pageant-filled world of Richmond, BC. Choreographed by Joe Tuliao, the performance brings the film's music, energy, and heart to life through dynamic choreography built for the stage. Originally premiered as an OVASIAN Award-winning vertical series that garnered over 9 million views in its first month, Rags 2 Richmond has since been adapted into a feature-length musical dramedy set for release in 2027. Blending heartfelt storytelling, sharp comedy, and original musical performances, R2R showcases Richmond like you've never seen it before. Men in pageants? Now that's a pivot. by @exnwsummit

Spilling the Tea isn’t just about gossip - it’s about truth. ☕ The history of tea reveals stories of stolen plants and knowledge, the Opium Wars, indentured labour, and a global trade that helped fuel colonial expansion. The phrase itself carries a legacy from Black and LGBTQ+ communities, where sharing the “tea” meant sharing truth and stories that deserved to be heard. From the stories we inherit to the stories we create next, storytelling has always been shaped by power, access, and the tools available to us. As AI reshapes filmmaking and content creation, we’re asking: How do we safeguard creative ownership and human storytelling while using new tools to democratize the production process and empower more voices? Join us for conversations on AI, documentary filmmaking, festival programming, and the future of creative workflows. ☕ Not So British High Tea 🎬 Stories. Technology. Creativity. #NotSoBritishHighTea #SpillingTheTea #AI #Filmmaking #DocumentaryFilm #Storytelling #CreativeIndustries #FutureOfStorytelling #ContentCreation by @exnwsummit
If documentary is built on trust, what happens when we can no longer take an image at face value? AI is forcing documentary filmmakers to revisit some of our oldest assumptions about evidence, authenticity, and truth. This weekend I’ll be joining the conversation at @exnwsummit to explore where documentary goes from here, and how we protect the integrity of storytelling as the tools continue to evolve. If you’re at EXNW, I hope you’ll join us. #EXNW2026 #DocumentaryFilm #AI by @exnwsummit
