Netflix and Gold House have created a partnership called “Netflix Gold” to amplify Api stories, artists, and creators.
The partnership marks an evolution for the nonprofit collective of Asian and Pacific Islander (Api) cultural leaders behind Gold House. By expanding their support beyond films for Asian audiences, Gold House will work closely with Netflix to amplify all culturally relevant stories and will engage the Api community through private and public experiences to celebrate diverse, multidimensional storytelling.
The first “Netflix Gold” event will be the premiere of Season 2 of “Never Have I Ever,” which will bring the Gold House community together for the first time in Los Angeles since the pandemic to get a sneak peek at the season, enjoy South Asian food and culture, highlight small businesses and celebrate intersectional South Asian stories.
The two organizations previously partnered on films such as “The White Tiger,” “Over The Moon” and “The Half Of It.
