I got to see Easter Sunday last week!

It debuted while I was just starting my month of travels and I really hoped I would make it back in time to see it in theatres. I’m in my 30s and this was my first chance to see a Filipino American family on a theatrical screen.

Of course, there are a good number of other Filipino American films. The past couple years have been especially generous, with:

Yellow Rose
The Fabulous Filipino Brothers
Bitter Melon
Empty By Design

But there’s also still a lot of catching up to do. As the second largest Asian American population, with Tagalog being the fourth most spoken language in the US, there are so many more movies to be made and stories to be told!
