It was inspiring, as they were telling the audience that they were just regular guys making videos which happened to be viewed by millions of people. I remember when they came to my high school in San Jose to screen "A moment with you", and had an event at UCSD (their alma mater) with Far East Movement as part of SDAFF's college tour in 2008. The guys definitely work hard touring all over the place so that the presence of Asians in the media isn't only online and on the computer screen, but can be translated into more mainstream outlets too.Damihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205323325582282610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145148897669212500.post-51818215250792301252011-06-13T13:48:05.079-07:002011-06-13T13:48:05.079-07:00I am always really excited when Wong Fu videos com...I am always really excited when Wong Fu videos come out on YouTube, and the fact that it's so widely recognized is a great step forward in recognizingAsian Americans in the nation. It's nice to see Wong Fu doing so well, I guess I have some pride since I'm from San Diego too <3 ! They are an inspiration to me to just do what I love and everything else will fall in place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145148897669212500.post-61818621635204777152011-06-11T23:35:10.195-07:002011-06-11T23:35:10.195-07:00Apparently I've been hiding under a rock -- I ...Apparently I've been hiding under a rock -- I haven't kept up with Wong Fu for a whiiiiile, I think since their One Day HK shorts. But they've come a long way! I have to say that they've upped their game especially with a production crew and great actor/actress connections. They definitely worked from the ground up, investing all they had into their equipment and having their friends act in their videos for free. It's crazy to think that these guys went to my university and so many students (including me) here have no idea what to do once they graduate. For Wong Fu, everything worked out! Proud of them. :)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733569939767428860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145148897669212500.post-43055686455029794562011-06-11T23:30:34.356-07:002011-06-11T23:30:34.356-07:00I think it's really great that this collaborat...I think it's really great that this collaboration happened! Two great talents came together to entertain and do what they do best. It's really awesome that Harry Shum Jr. has taken the time to do this with Wong Fu... since he is more affiliated with mainstream television (kudos to him for that!), it will definitely give way for greater exposure and bigger opportunities for Wong Fu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145148897669212500.post-76241594391681790342011-06-10T10:14:41.196-07:002011-06-10T10:14:41.196-07:00I think that the work Wong Fu and Harry Shum are d...I think that the work Wong Fu and Harry Shum are doing is great! Now that they are adding another face to their organization, it will only help them expand more! I love all of their videos and I think they have done an amazing job educating and entertaining audiences. I remembered when I watched "Yellow Fever" and I couldn't help but think how clever and funny it was to bring such a message up to audiences.monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150398954889991800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145148897669212500.post-39523875061232374332011-06-09T19:40:38.867-07:002011-06-09T19:40:38.867-07:00seriously. i'm always secretly proud that the...seriously. i'm always secretly proud that the wongfu crew graduated from ucsd. i've seen some of the 'fun' videos they made on campus while they were still students. i also know that one of their shorts screened at Cannes.

From that one video, I was so curious on what kind of impact they would have in the media arts in the future and if they would continue to inspire others. Today, they have become not only YouTube stars, but inspirations for those who wish to improve beyond the limits of filmmaking. I am so grateful that these people have come to light because they represent and strengthen the Asian American community and they have also shifted the way we see entertainment. And +100 brownie points for bringing in Harry Shum Jr. into their works! Not only is he the hunk of Glee, but also a reminder that us Asians can make it through this culturally imbalanced society.Mindy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419442017717209882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145148897669212500.post-35203080246158690322011-06-08T23:39:51.164-07:002011-06-08T23:39:51.164-07:00Should be noted that Wong Fu started in San Diego,...Should be noted that Wong Fu started in San Diego, and SDAFF premiered their first ever feature A MOMENT WITH YOU in 2006.Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092876083499818422noreply@blogger.com
