#GoldOpen, the community movement created by Gold House that successfully catapulted ‘Parasite’, ‘The Farewell’, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, ‘Just Mercy’, and nearly two dozen multicultural films to box office success, is hosting a nationwide weekend of #GoldOpen support for Sony Pictures’ ‘Yellow Rose’ ahead of its theatrical release on October 9.
‘Yellow Rose’ portrays a timely story of an undocumented Filipina teen from a small Texas town who fights to pursue her dreams as a country music performer while having to decide between staying with her family or leaving the only home she has known.

The film, which won 13 film festival jury and audience awards, showcases director Diana Paragas’ narrative feature debut and stars Broadway icons Eva Noblezada (Broadway’s Hadestown and Miss Saigon) and Lea Salonga (Mulan, Aladdin), who lend their voices to original country songs written by Dale Watson and Diane Paragas with a score by Christopher H. Knight.

It’s a tremendous, historic honor to support writer-director Diane Paragas and her incredible cast of breakout stars like Eva Noblezada to legends like Lea Salonga and powerhouses like Princess Punzalan,” says Brian Nemes, Head of #GoldOpen Operations.
