Filmmaker: Wong Fu Productions

Penguin December 3rd, 2007

I have a certain place in my heart for the guys at Wong Fu Productions. Maybe it’s just cause they’re students pursuing their dreams, whatever it is, I’ll keep coming back to see what they’ve been working on.

Wong Fu Productions have a set of shorts and music videos. Earlier this year, they finished their first full-length movie. I understand the costs that it must’ve taken to get the movie made, but part of me wonders why they don’t just release it on the internet in conjunction with selling DVDs.

Some of their longer work, such as “Just a Nice Guy“, feels like it doesn’t go anywhere. It spends a little too much time in the first act and doesn’t get to the conflict early enough. Their shorts tend to be much more focused. In either case, I’m excited to see more from these guys.

Here’s some of their better work:
