Wong Fu Productions[note 1] is an American filmmaking group founded by Wesley Chan (born April 27, 1984), Ted Fu (born October 26, 1981), and Philip Wang (born October 28, 1984).[4][5] The trio met at the University of California, San Diego in 2004 and produced a number of music videos and short films released on their website and later YouTube before establishing a professional media company, Sketchbook Media, after their graduation. Their works have been featured at a number of national and international film festivals, including the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and the San Diego Asian Film Festival.
As of April 2021, Wong Fu Productions' YouTube channel has over 3.27 million subscribers and over 584 million video views.[6] Since 2011, the group has developed a reputation as a springboard for Asian American acting talent.[1] Actors such as Randall Park (WandaVision), Justin H. Min (The Umbrella Academy), Anna Akana (Ant-Man), Brittany Ishibashi (Runaways), Victoria Park (The Flash), and Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) have all previously starred in Wong Fu films prior to their appearances on their respective superhero projects.
