I had the pleasure of speaking with stars Jo Koy and Lydia Gaston about their new film Easter Sunday opening on August 5th.
Jo stars as a struggling actor, comedian, and single father who returns home for an Easter celebration with his riotous, bickering, eating, laughing, and loving family, in this love letter to his Filipino-American community.
I was grateful to have a short, but impacting conversation with Jo Koy and Lydia Gaston. They share the inspiration behind favorite scenes in the film and how meaningful it is to be positively representing the AAPI community.
Since this was a film about family and in particular the relationship with mothers, I invited my mom to join in too! Special guest co-host: Suzy Chan.
