Schwebig said, “I’ve always admired the work of the Asian Academy. From its Academy Campus training programs to its major regional ceremonies, it is pivotal in the development of the media and entertainment industry across Asia. I am honored to accept this role and work more closely with the Asian Academy as it spotlights and recognizes standout local talent both behind and in front of the camera.”
