Andy Wong started in the film industry 10 years ago aspiring to be the next John Cho. However, due to the lack of opportunities for Asian actors back then, he decided to create opportunities for himself by going to film school where he learned the various positions on the film set. He soon found himself working behind the scenes and accelerated from a production assistant into an assistant director in a span of two years. As he excelled in his career behind the scenes, he noticed the lack of diversity in managerial crew roles. From filmmaking to community building, he now hopes to educate and (maybe) inspire the members of the BIPOC community considering work in the booming BC film industry.
