How conducive is the modern public school environment to student creativity? In 2007, Matt Wong dared to experiment, and learned not to mess with bureaucracy.

17-year-old Matt Wong just wanted to earn money to pay back his dad for a video camera. So he started a Sandwich Company at his high school. The result was a two day school suspension, the shutdown of his sandwich cart, and Matt Wong getting nationwide attention on CNN.

This short film was part of the 2008 San Diego Asian Film Festival as part of the Reel Voices project. Directed by high school student Akio Mitsunaga.
