March 25 is a big day for increasing AAPI presence in North AmericaSome

Some of the cast in the new series 'Pachinko.'

Today should be quite a day for all those interested in AANHPI representation in Hollywood. It's an unprecedented moment as four AANHPI-centric projects -- one feature  film, a documentary and two TV series -- are being launched Friday, March 25.

Pachinko

Topping the list of AANHPI-centric entertainment vehicles is the highly anticipated dramatic series, Pachinko, which follows the sweeping saga of a Korean family from its humble beginnings in a Korean village to wealth and power in the United States. 

The first season's eight episodes is the first series since 1980's adaptation of the best-selling Shogun to feature a largely Asian cast as lead protagonists. The series has the added potential of altering the AANHPI stereotype in North America -- at least, for a while -- as only a dramatic and emotional journey can accomplish by opening eyes and giving a broader three-dimensional perception  of Asians than usually presented in American media.

During the multi-generational story line, the series will be presented in Korean, Japanese and English, a first in US television history.

Based on the Min Jin Lee's best seller of the same title, the US production's first three episodes is available on Apple TV today finishing up on April 29.

The other projects coming to America's living rooms today include:

Everything, Everywhere All At Once 

Co-directed by Asian Americans Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the feature film is a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure comedy about an exhausted Chinese American woman played by Michelle Yeoh, who can't seem to finish her taxes while being hurtled through multiple dimensions, some dominated by Asians. 

The cast includes Harry Shum Jr. (“Shadowhunters”), Stephanie Hsu (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”), Ke Huy Quan (“The Goonies”) and James Hong (“Blade Runner” and a host of other films). Early reviews say its the best work by the ageless Yeoh in her career.

The feature film will debut at select theaters.

An Indian Brit family will shake up 19th century London high society.

Bridgerton (Season 2) 

The surprise hit of 2020, Bridgerton is a romantic period piece which will take an unusual turn of events by changing its focus from the first season's romantic pair of Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Bassett (Regé-Jean Page).

The story on 19th century social mores will focus on the oldest Bridgerton son, Jonathan and his love interest, Kate Sharma played by Simone Ashley. The Sharmas is an Indian Brit family making waves in Britain's high society. Expect a lot of sultry scenes and heavy breathing in the series based on the "Bridgerton" novels of Julia Quinn.

Producer Shonda Rhimes is keeping her vow to diversify her cast with the latest twist, which historically, could have happened since India had been an integral part of the British Empire.

Bridgerton will be available to binge on Netflix.

Olivia Rodrigo gets personal in the documentary about her first concert tour.

Sour. Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u: 

Can we get enough of Olivia Rodrigo? The Filipino American singer, songwriter is featured in a documentary about the making of her debut album "Sour." 

Olivia takes audiences on a familiar road trip from Salt Lake City, where she began writing her triple-platinum Geffen Records debut album “SOUR,” to Los Angeles. Along the way, Rodrigo recounts the memories of writing and creating her record-breaking debut album and shares her feelings as a young woman navigating a specific time in her life. 

Olivia's fans will love the documentary, a glorified video of the singer performing her hits in concert and in scenic areas of the West.

The artist comes across as genuine, a young woman barely a foot's length out of childhood, trying to figure life out. She talks about being a child actor, suffering a fear of failure, being overly critical with herself, and feeling inferior. She mentions the role her dad has played as a truth-teller for her. It would have been nice if the film had incorporated more of her family and friends, and some background to how she trains and improves her craft, to give viewers a more well-rounded view of the performer.

Through new live arrangements of her songs, intimate interviews and never-before-seen footage, audiences will follow her along on a cinematic journey exploring the story of “SOUR.” 

The documentary debuts on Disney+.
