Isle Child

Thomas Percy Kim, a former Diverso fellow, debuted his film Isle Child at this year’s San Fransisco International Film Fest!

Starring Ethan Hwang (Riceboy Sleeps), Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends), and EP'd by Jim Cummings (Thunder Road), this is an enormous win for us, as Thomas was one of the very first Fellows we welcomed into our programming. Through achievements like Diverso’s shepherding of Isle Child, we continue to see the ripple effects of our dedicated organization.
