Wong Fu Productions’ Feature Film Arrives On Vimeo On Demand

Wesley Chan, Ted Fu, and Philip Wang have been releasing short films on YouTube for nearly a decade, and now, thanks to an assist from their fans, they have debuted their first ever feature-length production. The filmmaking team collectively known as Wong Fu Productions has made the romantic drama film Everything Before Us available on Vimeo On Demand.

Everything Before Us follows the stories of two couples who live in a world where all relationships are strictly monitored by a government agency. One of the couples is just beginning its romance, while the other is falling apart. The strong cast includes Ki Hong Lee (Dong in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and Randall Park (Kim Jong-un in The Interview).

In order to finance their film, Wong Fu headed to Indiegogo, where they raised more than $358,000 early in 2014. By

securing so much money through their fans, they were able to retain complete creative control over a project that has been on their minds for several years. “We just thought now was the right time to give the fans something different,” Wang told Tubefilter in an April 2015 interview. “We really need to show that we’re trying to advance ourselves as artists and as a channel and as a company.”

Wong Fu brought the completed project to Vimeo On Demand, where it joins a number of other films with ties to the YouTube community (including the recently-released Man Up). Renting the film costs $4.99, while purchasing it will run you $14.99. Check it out, and stay tuned to the film’s official Twitter feed for any updates.
