Video Game High School (VGHS) Season One was a massive success and Freddie Wong and the gang are going bigger and better in every way for Season 2 – more game types, more action, more effects, and more gaming-related puns and obscure references! Season Two will take place over six TV-length episodes, for a total of 160-180 minutes of action-packed goodness. Here’s more about the Video Game High School Season 2:
After a shocking scandal puts The Law in handcuffs and VGHS’s reputation on the line, it’s up to Brian D and Jenny Matrix to take the embattled FPS team to victory and redemption. Vehicles will explode and hearts will break as Brian and Jenny battle the toughest gamer schools in the world– all while dealing with the team’s new coach: Mary Matrix, Jenny’s win-at-all-costs mother.
Meanwhile, Brian’s best bud Ted Wong struggles to prove himself to the Drift Racing Team. Along the way, he’ll square off against the Drift King’s arch rival, the Duchess of Kart and partake in a sacred – and deadly – rite of drift passage.
And as Ki Swan finds herself mired in an existential crisis, yearning for meaning in a meaningless world, she’ll match wits with an egomaniacal RTS Player, duel a wandering fighting gamer ronin, and engage in a high stakes game of Poker-mon for her very right to stay at VGHS.
CAN YOU BELIEVE all this takes place in just SIX sensational episodes?!? Neither can we! They just made half of this up!* Find out which half next season… only on Video Game High School!
Funding Video Game High School Season 2 won’t be easy. Freddie Wong and the crew are seeking $636,010 – which is the exact amount of money they spent on Video Game High School Season One. This, as a minimum, will let them achieve the same level of quality they achieved in the first season.
In Wong Fu Productions’ Valentine’s Day short “Drummer Love Song”, a group of musicians in a band exchange ideas on what they’ll do for their significant others for their special day. Every member of the band expect the drummer feels obligated to write a song for their girl. Caving into peer pressure, the drummer decides to write a special tune for his girlfriend. Although girls wanted to date drummers, the drum isn’t the most romantic instrument to woo girls. No matter what your gift, just make sure it’s from the heart! The short stars AJ Rafael, Sam and Niko from Digital Corridor, Wong Fu intern Sam Bay, and Angela Lee.
Kenny Gee (no, not the sax player), the writer and director of the short film “The Body” needs your help. He came up with a clever way to raise funds for his short. Somewhere in Singapore, a bunch of thugs have kidnapped him and held hostage for ransom. He’s getting tortured until he can come up with the money $20,000. Watch the video below.
Here’s more about “The Body” by Kenny Gee:
The Body is a 20-minute narrative short film set in Singapore involving two crooks, one young and one old, who have to learn to work together to dispose of a dead woman that’s turned up in one of their living rooms. It’s a story that’s deeply rooted in the crime genre, which has held a special place in my heart ever since I saw movies like Pulp Fiction and Fargo as a kid. It’s been something of a lifelong dream of mine to tell a story like that in Singapore, even if it means inventing a Singaporean criminal underworld from scratch. We don’t get many crime films here made like that – gritty, dark, and brutal, but also funny, and eccentric–the kind of film that makes you wonder why you’re smiling when terrible things are happening on screen. With your help and a little bit of luck, The Body will be one of those movies.
