How #StarringJohnCho Changed Hollywood At a time where Hollywood was turning a blind eye to diversity, #StarringJohnCho challenged the notions of American casting. In 2017, Scarlett Johansson was cast as Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell, igniting major uproar. “The original film is set in Japan, and the major cast members are Japanese. So why would the American remake star a white actress?” William Yu, the creator of the movement, started posting his #StarringJohnCho creations on Twitter. Soon, the internet ran with it. The hashtag is flooded with brilliantly photoshopped movie posters that made John Cho the star lead. From action films such as The Avengers, to rom-coms like 500 Days of Summer, the renditioned posters showcased a new perspective on casting and pointed out the fatal flaws of the industry. From internet meme to global movement, #StarringJohnCho amplified the demand for Asian representation. "The timing of this campaign was so perfect, in the sense that Asian Americans were ready to assert themselves and the public at large was probably primed to accept the idea in a way they hadn't before." -John Cho "The campaign wasn't just about John, and it wasn't just about money. Yes, diverse films do better finacially and are better returns on investment. But it's also the case that great films and built around great characters [that also showcase our humanity.] Our passions. Our pains. Our dreams. All of us deserve to see our flaws and joys depicted on screen," said Yu. Which is your favorite #StarringJohnCho poster?

Posted @withregram • @jt_otero One of my favorite things next to seeing and hanging out with friends, is getting to meet and interact with all the creators. Over the years, I've made some really cool connections but this WonderCon is going to hold a special spot. I was able to get the creative team behind DCs Monkey Prince on my panel! I can't express how much I admire this team and all they are doing!

The Daniels are brilliant and Everything, Everywhere All at Once swept the 2023 Oscars. A total acid trip, weird yet an intrinsic character study of a Chinese immigrant struggling wife and mother, and her dysfunctional family amid financial turmoil. The matriarch, Evelyn Wang escapes her reality through a series of superhero selves in the multiverse, in the end finding herself whole and healing her relationships with her husband and daughter. Congrats to all who won and made an unique and special piece of cinema. #oscars2023 #thedaniels #danielkwan #danielscheinert #bestpicture #bestdirector #bestoriginalscreenplay #michelleyeoh #historicwin #bestactress #asianrepresentation #evelynwang #keyhuyquan #bestsupportingactor #jamieleecurtis @jamieleecurtis #stephaniehsu #bestsupportingactress #bestof2022 #everythingeverywhereallatonce #oscars95 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxgEoeOcj-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I judge books by their covers and I’m usually right. It’s how I found this book which has become one of my all time favorites. Add to it the incredible descriptive visuals and now I have a list of paintings I want to create. Goes to show you never know where creativity will spark. Now that it’s over I need something new…what are you reading? #modernmagicreads

PLUS SIZE ASIANS EXIST

Michelle Elman

As you all know I’ve been talking about the absence of Asians in adverts, campaigns and fashion in general so @lindablacker and I decided to team up on a little passion project. Look at how incredible these women look!

Here’s to showing them what they are missing 💪🏽

Despite the absence in the media, asian is actually the largest ethnic minority in the U.K.

Asians deserve to be represented.

Asians deserve to be seen.

And all Asians aren’t the stereotype of being small and petite.

Being Asian is not one look.

Being Asian is not one culture.

Whilst even this shoot isn’t perfect representation, it shows just a small sample of the diversity within Asia. #AsianRepresentation

Thank you to all the wonderful women taking part and being my stunning models @nesslala @bishamberdas @saalene @kat_v_henry @minakumari.uk @simksandhu95

This was such a personal project and I couldn’t have done it without @lindablacker. She came up with the idea when I was talking about asian representation earlier in the year and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it. She has always placed diversity at the forefront of her shoots and her talent is remarkable. This entire concept was her doing and I’m so grateful for everything you did to make this a reality! Thank you also to @umberghauri and @hannah.shaikhup for the incredible makeup! It felt so complete to have the makeup artists also be Asian. We need just as much diversity behind the scenes on shoots as well! x

I thought I had all the representation I needed, when in reality, my identity was being split into two. These sources of stories split my beliefs into two.

Such an historic win for already a film icon, Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian actor and second woman of color to win the Academy Award for Best Actress after 95 years for her work as an Chinese immigrant working class, depressed wife and mother, who escaped her reality to the multiverse, to find herself whole in the end, in Everything, Everywhere All at Once. Michelle Yeoh wore an ethereal and floaty feathered Christian Dior Couture gown. This win is historic and deserved. Her look at first was unexpected, but this is a relaxed, quietly confident, ethereal, and beaming w style, and grace. Congrats to the iconic and historic Michelle Yeoh. @michelleyeoh_official #michelleyeoh #historicwin #bestactress #oscars2023 #dior @dior #christiandiorhautecouture #etheral #floaty everythingeverywhereallatonce asianrepresentation #asianrepresentationmatters #evelynwang https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpu8mNUOBPp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
