Changing Hollywood

For the first time in Hollywood’s history, Filipinos and BIPOC Creatives are telling their stories and garnering the recognition they have always deserved.

What many don’t realize is that Filipinos have been in the entertainment industry for a long time.

But it’s only just recently that we are finally receiving (and creating) the opportunities to showcase ourselves as Filipinos, in lead roles both in front of and behind the camera.

“Get Your Story Straight” is a short film written, produced and performed by an all-star cast and crew of Filipinos.

I was invited to Los Angeles to visit the production set where I had the chance to speak with the creative team.

They shared with me the importance of “Get Your Story Straight” as a symbol of where the entertainment industry is headed and how Filipino creativity is quite literally changing the face of Hollywood.
