Check out an article about my latest project. Super surprised and excited when I saw it on Facebook.
Today, instead of waiting for the right vehicle to showcase his talents, Wong has decided to create it himself. That film is Father’s Day, and director Quentin Lee and Hong Kong-based producer Michael J. Werner are already on board the project. Shooting is scheduled to start in November in Hong Kong.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the campaign so far. I’m super excited to announce that we made our goal of $3k, but it’s not over just yet. Our first stretch goal of $3500 is within reach! We have 22 hours and a little less than $400 to increase the quality of the book. If we raise $3500, we’ll have a 12 pt cover with gloss cover finish.

Check out my guest post about why I chose to write about Santa in my graphic novel/script Santa Vs. Zombies.
When I teach writing, students always ask me how to come up with good ideas. I try to give them different tips that have worked for me in the past but one of the best ways I have found was to ask myself a “what if” question. That’s how the idea for the Sana Vs. Zombies graphic novel started—my co-writer, John Mayer, and I asked ourselves which mythical—mostly holiday-based—character would be best suited to take on a zombie horde and save humanity.
What do you think? Which mythical character do you think has the best chance to not only survive the zombie apocalypse but to actually beat back the zombie plague?

Anew graphic novel from Koji Steven Sakai and John Mayer called Santa VS Zombies launched on Kickstarter on April 9, 2019. This sixty-page graphic novel follows a burned-out Santa Claus who reluctantly embarks on his last chimney crawl only to find his world turned upside down by a zombie apocalypse. With the help of a crew of children and a single mother, Santa rediscovers his Christmas spirit while saving the world.
“Santa VS Zombies combines two of my favorite things…Santa and zombies,” explained co-creator Koji Steven Sakai. “If every day was a zombie Christmas I’d be happy.” Sakai’s love for zombies is evident in his prose fiction, including his debut novel Romeo & Juliet Vs. Zombies. Sakai is a comics veteran, and his graphic novel, 442, which follows an entirely Japanese-American regiment during World War II, was released in 2017.
