Kicking off AAPI Heritage Month in style, Quentin Lee’s Margin Films celebrates its 30th anniversary with Cinemasianamerica—a vibrant new book and a seven-day screening series lighting up the Laemmle Royal Theatre in Los Angeles. The series is also streaming on AAM.tv, bringing the celebration to audiences everywhere. On Friday, May 1, 2026, Cinemasianamerica opened with a 30th anniversary screening of Shopping for Fangs, the groundbreaking debut feature from Lee and Justin Lin. The night drew a feast of collaborators, who turned out in full force for both the screening and a lively after-party in West Los Angeles.

Joshua M. Sager is a showrunner and executive producer renowned for crafting globally minded, character-driven procedural series and high-concept international co-productions. Having built his career developing “series engines” for industry giants like Netflix, Disney, and DreamWorks, Sager has evolved from architecting expansive IP worlds to spearheading ambitious cross-border television slates. A dual Canadian-American citizen, he serves as a creative and strategic bridge between North America’s commercial storytelling sensibilities and the nuanced, prestige-driven traditions of European and Asian drama. With a keen eye for scalable narratives and culturally resonant storytelling, Sager continues to shape the future of global television.
