Wong Fu Productions on CNN

Just in time for the ISA Ticket Tour, CNN broadcast the feature they did on Wong Fu Productions. Yep, CNN. The guys at Wong Fu did the interview a few months back. It’s cool to see Wong Fu Productions in action behind the scenes filming a short. Philip Wang, Wesley Chan, and Ted Fu formed the company in 2007 and the Asian American community has been behind them ever since. If you wonder how Wong Fu Productions makes money, it’s from merchandise sales, college speaking tours, and directing music videos. Support them by checking out their store here.

CNN used a bunch of footage from Wong Fu Productions including their college tours, Yellow Fever, Up in da Club, Hitting on Cathy, even Far East Movement got some air time with Dance like Michael Jackson. Wong Fu Productions definitely knows how to rep the Asian American community.

If you wanna meet Wong Fu Productions in person in Los Angeles, join them at one of the locations for the ISA LA 2009 Ticket Tour or at the International Secret Agents: Los Angeles 2009 Concert.
