Charis Chu receives two ribbons near the end of the pageant, for Miss Internet Favorite and for Miss Photogenic. Chu hopes to become a film director one day so that she can create more opportunities for Asian Americans. “There are very limited roles for Asian Americans…when you go into an audition room for an Asian role, people start judging each other”, said Chu. “That’s why I want to get into filmmaking because I will have more creative control. Instead of judging each other for the same role, we can all rise together in the film industry”. (Photo and caption by John Brecher/Sahra Vang Nguyen/NBC News)
