Actress KC Concepcion is urging fans to help fund her upcoming film "Asian Persuasion."
"The filming is done, now the hard work begins. And YOU can help bring our movie to the FINISH LINE," she wrote on Instagram.
"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," she added.

"LET’S MAKE THIS MOVIE HAPPEN!!! Salamat… thank you… and all my love from New York City."
According to the daughter of Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion, she said yes to doing the said movie because she grew up not seeing a Filipino 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," she related.
"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," she added.
KC pointed out that the 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," she told her followers.
"This is US. Made by us. Made for us. And made to represent us."
