Chu calls the movie, “a vaccine of joy.”</span> <span data-start-time='103375' data-end-time='111354'>“On the first day of shooting, we all got in a circle and I was like: Let go of all the pressure. </span> <span data-start-time='111354' data-end-time='116042'>Let’s just entertain…these people,” Chu remembers.</span> <span data-start-time='116042' data-end-time='125792'>On Wednesday, In the Heights played at the Tribeca Film Festival with showings across New York City. </span> <span data-start-time='125792' data-end-time='129292'>It has won praise from critics.</span> <span data-start-time='129292' data-end-time='144167'>The filmmakers hope In the Heights can be for Latinos what Black Panther was for Black Americans and what Crazy Rich Asians was for Asian Americans. </span> <span data-start-time='144167' data-end-time='149167'>Hispanics are the largest minority in the United States. </span> <span data-start-time='149167' data-end-time='154521'>They make up an even larger percentage of moviegoers. </span> <span data-start-time='154521' data-end-time='160479'>But, the minority is underrepresented in Hollywood productions.</span> <span data-start-time='160479' data-end-time='166125'>Chu said, in the end, it is moviegoers who decide. </span> <span data-start-time='166125' data-end-time='176854'>Crazy Rich Asians, which Chu also

data-end-time='205958'>Ramos said he experienced many of the things shown in the movie. </span> <span data-start-time='205958' data-end-time='212958'>“There are shots of the food that I grew up eating, the music that I grew up listening to,” he said.</span> <span data-start-time='212958' data-end-time='220104'>A sense of responsibility weighed on Ramos during the filming in Washington Heights. </span> <span data-start-time='220104' data-end-time='231708'>Before shooting, Ramos would shout to the crew: “For the culture!” a custom he learned from director Spike Lee while working on one of his movies.</span> <span data-start-time='231708' data-end-time='242958'>“It meant that we are all here, in this moment, doing this film and telling this story for something that is way bigger than any [of] us,” said Ramos. </span> <span data-start-time='242958' data-end-time='248750'>“This is for everybody who had to sacrifice, who had to break doors open.”</span> </p></div><div
