This is how we never met by Wong Fu Productions

This is how we never met by Wong Fu Productions

The guys at Wong Fu Productions released their latest short film “This is how we never met” featuring Ki Hong Lee and Tiffany “TC” Chung. Although two people who are drawn to each other, they end up giving up on their initial attraction over the course of a few poorly timed events, misunderstandings and assumptions. For better or worse, the short is inspired by all the times you’ve seen someone across the room at a cafe/park/library, but never had the guts to say anything for one reason or another. Sometimes our imagination just gets out of control. Here’ more from Wong Fu Productions about the sktech:

We hope it motivates you not to judge people from afar, and maybe gives you a little courage to take chances. At the same time, don’t use this as inspiration to be that crazy guy/girl who approaches everyone, lol. Good luck!

Hopefully, this video inspires you to take the next step, but don’t go crazy.
