Welcome to my new podcast series, RISING STARS -- featuring an amazing list of Filipinx creatives/artists in Film, TV and Music.
In this episode, I am joined by Chris Soriano.
Chris is a writer/producer/director/actor based in CA. He wrote/produced/directed and was the lead actor in the movie called Zeus about a boxing champion who'd lost his mother to COVID and who ended up challenging an Asian American boxer named ZEUS for a boxing match.
Learn about how Zeus the movie came about and how Manny Pacquiao got involved as an Executive Producer. In addition, hear Chris' thoughts on how we can increase Filipino representation in Hollywood, how we can address the rise in AAPI hate crimes especially during the pandemic, and his message to the LGBTQ community, especially in relation to the controversy about Manny's anti-LGBTQ statements in the past.
