Gold House, the cultural platform behind the Gold Open movement and The Gold Gala is moving into production with the launch of Gold House Studios.

Since its launch eight years ago, Gold House has been one of the most influential forces in entertainment and culture. The company has campaigned over 800 openings for films like “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” With Gold House Studios, its focus will be on developing and producing original and IP-driven stories across film, television, and digital media.

Gold House Studios will be led by Gold House veterans Christine Yi and Brian Nemes, with Yi heading the studio and Nemes leading IP and Development. Both will serve as producers for all projects on the Gold House Studio’s slate.

“Too many great films pull off a small miracle to get made only to go unseen,” says Yi, who previously led operations at Gold House Ventures, Gold House’s tech VC fund, and still acts as General Manager of Gold House Labs, the foundation’s talent development programs. “As an impact-driven company, one of our top priorities is to develop compelling stories with leading roles for Asian Pacific talent and rich, nuanced, cultural context that feels novel or unexpected. But our highest priority measure of ‘impact’ will be our ability to reach audiences and resonate well beyond our own community.”
