Pacific Islanders in Communications (PIC) is a nonprofit organization serving the Pacific Islander and US public by presenting programs that illuminate the Pacific Islander experience. PIC is the only organization in the US that does this by developing, producing, and funding films and film series, providing opportunities to emerging filmmakers, and screening films at community events and festivals across the world. In our 30+ years, we have provided more than 200 hours of media content to the national public media system. We believe that it’s crucial for media to truly reflect the world around us and the people in it in order to enrich the civic and cultural vitality of the US.
