“Wingmen” is a TV series we have been developing since Fall, 2006 and is our way of addressing the lack of positive depictions of Asian American men on network series TV. And through the Chicago Comedy TV Pilot Competition, we have a great opportunity to present it to audiences all over.

The Storyline

Hans has just been dumped and his friends (Richard, Leonard, Aaron and Julian) try to help him win back his lady-love: Julian by giving Hans an undershirt makeover and Leonard by producing a calendar of the “Hottest, Sexiest Asian American Men of Chicagoland” (and getting Hans to audition for it). Meanwhile, Richard is still mourning for his wife and Aaron can’t seem to talk to his crush.

Thank You for All Your Help

To all who've donated money to help make "Wingmen" a reality, thank you! So far, we have raised $1625 of the $2000 needed for producing our pilot. And for info about what's happened to "Wingmen" so far, please check out our blog. We have some exciting news to share with you!

And to those of you haven't donated but would still like to, it's not too late. Post-production, we still have some expenses that we need to cover, so if you can find it in your heart to brown bag it JUST ONE TIME (and send the money you would have spent to help us with production costs), we'd appreciate it SO much.

And thanks for visiting this site!

Help us make the most of this Opportunity

I can't tell you how often I've heard people decrying the lack of authentic Asian American (and not just Asian) stories on TV -- especially with regard to our men. As Asian Americans ourselves, I and my collaborators are trying to stir up the network mix with our entry for this competition. By gifting us with your lunch money, you can too -- while showing the networks your grassroots activism, too!

Thank You for Your Support,

Marie Yuen
