Upset About Diversity in Hollywood? 'Single By 30' is a Step Towards a Promising Future.

Guest Post by Philip Wang



I'll admit upfront that this post is going to come off a bit self-serving considering I am one of the creator/directors of the show, but ultimately I hope you will see that it's less "tooting my own horn," and more trying to rally and unite the community behind new opportunities and perspectives!

Single By 30 is an eight-episode original show that comes out weekly on Wong Fu Productions YouTube channel through YouTube Red. It's a romantic dramedy starring Harry Shum Jr. and Kina Grannis. Here's why it's an important show that you might want to get behind.

Jeremy Lin & Wong Fu Productions imagine "Lindorsements"

Also: Jeremy throws the first pitch at Dodgers Stadium



At the height of the era we affectionately call "Linsanity," basketball sensation Jeremy Lin reportedly turned down tens of millions of dollors in potential endorsement opportunities. Fast forward to 2014. Now that Jeremy has moved on to Los Angeles and joined the Lakers, what sort of endorsement deals is he looking at?

Jeremy recently teamed up with Wong Fu Productions to imagine himself as the star of various ad campaigns, poking fun at the Most Interesting Man in the World, Chris Paul's Cliff Paul commercials, Richard Sherman's Beats ad... and other endorsement indignities. Plus a surprise appearance from a fellow Laker.

Damn. Another movie falls prey to racebending. How can they do this to the kids of Bayside High? Wong Fu Productions' latest video is a mockumentary on the making of their first feature film: Saved By The Bell: The Movie. Except in their controversial take, all of the roles have been recast with mostly Asian American actors (except Lisa -- respect). Pretty smart satire. Tell me if this touches a nerve:
