Wong Fu Productions and Ryan Higa hit up the Sundance Film Festival for the first time last week. The main reason they took the trip out to Utah was because independent film producing legends Christine Vachon and Ted Hope were interested to speak them about their project “Agents of Secret Stuff” and how digital media is changing the landscape of independent film for their program “Killer Hope”. “Agents of Secret Stuff” has already garnered 8 million views in a few short months. Numbers that any indie filmmaker would kill for. It’s a fascinating discussion about how Hollywood and the indie filmmakers differ and how technology is leveling the playing field. Fans and filmmakers will learn a thing or from this interview.

We posted a casting call for My Name Is Seven last year. Now the first scenes on the set has been released. Steve Terada, Brian Hirano, and Yuri Tag star in this dance filled romantic comedy short film directed by DB Cheng.
Steve Terada plays the lead character Seven, the underdog with a hidden talent for dance in the film. Brian Hirano plays Clark, the leader of the dance team trying to keep Seven and Michi apart. Yuri Tag plays Michi, the girl everyone is going after. Look for this short film with these Quest Crew and Kaba Modern members hitting a film festival near you soon. If it does well, you may see a full blown movie come out of this short.
