For more than a decade, short-film-producing sensation Wong Fu Productions has made fans laugh and click “share,” raking in more than 2 million YouTube subscribers.
Now, they’re working on their biggest project yet.
Founders Wesley Chan, Ted Fu and Philip Wang announced their plans for their first feature film earlier this year, and after blasting past their initial goal of $200,000 on indiegogo, the principal cast was released last week.
“Our story takes place in a world where all relationship activity is documented and monitored by the Department of Emotional Integrity (DEI),” reads a description on the Wong Fu website. “Much like a credit score is given to represent financial responsibility, a relationship score is given to keep individuals accountable for the relationship activity and choices. The score is public for all to see, and affects various aspects of daily life.
In the film we follow two couples who are experiencing different challenges in their relationships. Seth and Haley are two high schoolers who are registering their relationship for the first time, and Ben and Sara, a former couple in their mid twenties who must meet again to settle an old report.
Through these two stories we are going to explore how love changes over time, and how to believe in your heart again after it’s been hurt.”
