Story by Diane Paragas and Andy Bienen and co-wrote with Paragas, Annie Howell, and Celena Cipriaso, Paragas also directed Yellow Rose. The movie follows a Filipina teen, played by Eva Nolblezada, from a small Texas town. She 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.

Noblezada is a Grammy-winner and two-time Tony Award nominee for Broadway’s Hadestown and Miss Saigon. This is her feature film debut with award-winning country music artist Dale Watson, Princess Punzalan and Lea Salonga.

As her first narrative feature film, Paragas had this to say, “…a deeply personal story that is filled with heart, acceptance, and hope set to an unforgettable original soundtrack. This release has given us a unique opportunity to present the Filipino-American experience and the struggles of undocumented families to a wide spectrum of audiences, who we hope will embrace Rose’s story and leave the theater singing her songs.”
