New Episode of Kiss My Mike: "Art as an Act of Activism"
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Filipino American filmmaker GIO Espiritu, a groundbreaking storyteller whose creative vision is deeply shaped by her journey as a bisexual, once-undocumented immigrant Filipina mom and survivor of a Biblical doomsday cult.
Her award-winning films like ALLY 3000 and Legacy tackle patriarchy, generational trauma, and societal bias—all with humor and heart. We also talk about her latest projects, including MAID TO SHINE, a romantic comedy set in Vegas, and her feature film LOVE & KARMA starring international and Filipino talent.
🌟 Topics we cover:
🎥 The state of the entertainment industry
🏳️🌈 Navigating Hollywood as a Filipino American and LGBTQ+ creative
💪 Turning art into activism
🎭 Gio's journey as a filmmaker and actor
🤝 How we can support Filipinos and marginalized communities in media
💡 Inspiring messages for the next generation
This is a conversation you don’t want to miss—raw, inspiring, and real.
