wong fu makes headlines


Online videos have changed the landscape of the film industry and Wesley Chan, Ted Fu and Phillip Wang are living proof. The three UC San Diego alums met in a 2004 visual arts class and started first making movies together “just for fun.” Now their films, which include the You Tube cult favorite Yellow Fever, collectively have more than 10 million views on the website.

Now their Wong Fu Productions Web site gets 5,000 hits a day from loyal fans who come to view their frequently updated collection of free short films.

Their success was recently highlighted in this Associated Press story.
