Of all the places we scouted for “Bubble Tea & Sympathy,” Bini Bakery — owned by John and Eunice Kim, was the first to give us the go-ahead for shooting one of our scenes on-site.  And in case you were wondering, it’s the as not-yet posted scene with Aaron and Leonard.

Currently at two H-Mart locations (Niles and Naperville), we are still grateful for their helpfulness/cooperation on such relatively short notice and (like all the other businesses that let us shoot at their location) for no charge…

…slooooowly but surely as the views have been adding up for our three earliest-posted clips from our pilot, the monetization has been happening, too. Can’t say that we’ve made a mint as yet but at least we can say that the money hasn’t stopped coming in (more like pennies at a time rather than dollars but hey, at least we’re not losing out by our endeavors). And incrimentally we’ve been expanding our contact base as well. So hopefully sooner rather than later (!) we’ll be able to dole out some more good news…

I wasn’t aware of it until now, but our show (and our efforts) got a nice shoutout on AZNLover.com this past January. And yes, he (or she) was pretty accurate about our clips not being the end-all final product but as an inkling (short of reading the entire teleplay) of the direction we hope to achieve for “Wingmen.” So thanks to the AZNLover for upping the awareness of our proposed series..!
