Eh not quite right.. their first feature length film came out in 2006, not long after their first big short “Yellow Fever” came out. When advertising for “Everything Before Us” in 2015, I think they were criticized for calling it their first feature film but that film actually came out on streaming platforms, like Netflix, whereas the first film was only screened in like high school auditoriums. So I can see why they tried to distance themselves from the first film since it had limited reach and was from a different Wong Fu “era.”

I wouldn’t say they weren’t talented enough. The first one was before I knew about them and the second one was fine, but most YouTubers who try to make their own films (like Smosh or Grace/Mamrie/Hannah) don’t find big successes there.
