"It was a confluence of very fortunate events that this movie was produced, and it is a bit of an anomaly. It's quite unprecedented that, first of all, a major Hollywood film studio has produced a comedy in the year 2022. They don't get made very often anymore at this size or scale. And secondly, that movie centers a minority family of any sort, but specifically of a Filipino-American family with a Filipino-American leading man. All of these things add to the sort of historical nature of the movie, for lack of a better description. And that's not lost upon me, but also adds to the fact that it's such a crazy experience. Now having put the movie out into the world to see reactions and now that it's out of our hands, it's up to the world to receive it."
