She captioned it with:
For a year, I experienced rejections. A part of my spirit broke. There were two shows I lost because hiring an Aquino for TV was a political risk not worth taking. But something happened March 23, 2017 – a Tony and Grammy Award-winning Broadway producer, Jhett Tolentino, contacted me through [congresswoman] Len Alonte and Manang Nene Chan. He was helping a Filipino-Chinese-American agent friend to reach me to ask if I’d want to audition for a big Hollywood studio movie about to start filming.
Along with her team, they shot the video reel and bio and submitted it.
The fruits of her labor are about to come.
Tonight I fly to Los Angeles to meet Chris Lee, my agent, to sign my contract. I passed 5 levels of intense scrutiny and was offered a role. It is surreal to be reading the script from a major Hollywood studio watermarked on every page with my name. I signed a non-disclosure agreement so until they reveal my participation I can’t share any details about the movie and my role.
She thanked her family for being there on this journey. She also asks for encouragement for her new journey.
Recently, Kris returned for a short stint on TV with ‘Trip ni Kris’ aired on GMA 7. However, the show has been canceled since.
What Hollywood movie do you think Kris will have a role in?
