If you are Filipino, there are no offers. You have to come up with a pitch. You have to figure out a story they will back,” he revealed.</p><p>But his resilience paid off when director and producer Steven Spielberg reached out to him for a possible movie project.</p><p>“I want to open doors for everyone. That’s what this movie is all about — having the doors open and showcase this Asians that can act in Hollywood,” Jo Koy added. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/08/31/22/why-jo-koy-chose-easter-sunday-for-his-first-ever-movie">Why ‘Easter Sunday’?
