KC Concepcion on accepting Hollywood movie: “I think I speak for so many ASIAN actors”

Actress and vlogger KC Concepcion expressed what she felt to be a part of the upcoming New York film titled, “Asian Persuasion.”

In her Instagram account, KC happily shared to her fans and followers that the filming of the said Hollywood movie was finally done. According to KC, she accepted the said upcoming Hollywood film because she grew up not seeing a Filipino on American TV or in Hollywood films. KC also expressed what she felt to be a part of the said film as she wrote:

“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.”
