Philip Wang of Wong Fu Productions discusses “Yappie” | Sparks Magazine
Sparks Magazine sat down with Wong Fu Productions, a prominent Asian American filmmaking group based in California. Known for their UA-cam shorts, feature films and web series such as "Single by 30," "The Asian Bachelorette" and "Everything Before Us," Wong Fu returns with "Yappie." The 5-episode web series that premiered on UA-cam follows the character of Andrew, a Chinese American, as he navigates his life upon realizing the social nuances of his Asian American identity. Sparks Magazine spoke with Philip Wang, one of the founders of Wong Fu Productions. He talks about the Asian American contemporary experience, his experience working on “Yappie” and upcoming plans with Wong Fu.

    “Telling a 90 min. story”. What does that even mean? He pursued spirituality to better understand the world which would help him tell a 90 min. story which is a movie?

    @roamlikekane 6 років тому

    This is what happened, his movie career did not go as well as he initially hoped for, and thusly, he became disillusioned. I believe he was exposed to the harsh realities in the superficial world and prejudicial world known as Hollywood esp. for Asian-American actors; the limited leading roles, the stereotyped caricatures, these epiphanies made him retreat into himself.

    Great~ Looks so yummy and tempting for for me to sway from my diet! One suggestion that you might have already noticed, is perhaps investing into a mic, or if you do have one, a better one. It was difficult to hear him talk during the video
