Actress KC Concepcion is asking the public for help after her New York film “Asian Persuasion” hit financial problems during production.
KC said that the filming for the movie “Asian Persuasion” is already done and it simply needs to recover the funds it lost during a 12-day production pause after a main talent had contracted COVID-19.
On Instagram, KC posted the following:
“The filming is done, now the hard work begins. And YOU can help bring our movie to the FINISH LINE 😍
I said YES to this movie “Asian Persuasion” because I grew up not seeing a Filipino who looked like me, or other girls like me, on American TV or in Hollywood films.
Having the chance to be part of this Asian-American romantic comedy as a FILIPINA means MORE to me than just getting an acting job in America. I think I speak for so many ASIAN actors who grew up wishing and waiting for this time to come for us to be SEEN, HEARD, and REPRESENTED, in all our different skin tones, body shapes, and backgrounds.
This movie is about family, relationships, love, failures, resilience, success, and fighting for what you love. That’s why this story is YOURS, as much as it is mine.
This is US. Made by us. Made for us. And made to represent us.
Click the link in my bio to support our film and bring it to the finish line!!! 🎞 We can’t do this without you. ANY amount would help— but most importantly, as we aspire to see our stories, our faces, our languages, our music, our talent, our skill, and our cultures, we can come together right now… one Asian project at a time.
LET’S MAKE THIS MOVIE HAPPEN!!! Salamat… thank you… and all my love from New York City. Click https://seedandspark.com/fund/asian-persuasion#story – link also in bio! 😘
Mahal na mahal ko kayo. 🇵🇭 Love, KC.”
