WOK IN PROGRESS Kickstarter Campaign Launch Party
Come join the creators of WOK IN PROGRESS, China’s first bilingual sitcom, as they launch their Kickstarter campaign live, where it all began, @ 4corners on Friday, August 21, 2015. The party starts at 21:00 with free pizza and beer. You heard right, free pizza and beer, for the early birds. 4corners is offering vodka-Red Bull and tequila shot specials all night to “kickstart” the party right. Supporters of the Wok In Progress Kickstarter who pledge $50 dollars or more will get discounted drinks all night. At 22:00, the Wok In Progress Kickstarter campaign will be launched live.
What’s it really like to live in China? That’s what Murray Clive Walker and Victor Muh, the co-creators of the upcoming bilingual sitcom WOK IN PROGRESS, want to show the world; especially the people who have trouble leaving their comfort zone. WOK IN PROGRESS is about the adventures and misadventures of two college drop-outs from the U.S. as they arrive in Beijing for the first time to start a new life. At the same time, a noodle shop owner/would-be landlord and his gorgeous daughter struggle to make sense of these two “laowai” (foreigners).

After self-funding the production of the pilot episode of WOK IN PROGRESS, Murray and Victor have decided to raise funds via a global, rewards crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in order to continue producing the rest of their series. With distribution deals on Youku, YouTube, and VOD channels, along with others currently in negotiation, Murray and Victor have set a goal to raise $30,000 on Kickstarter in order to continue developing and producing the first season of the sitcom series shot on location in Beijing, China.
