He also made independent films such as Kung Fu Rascals, based on a series of 8 mm short films he did years before. He and his brother Michael Wang, an award-winning commercials director, have recently been hired to work on Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight (an adaptation of Kamen Rider Ryuki), a second attempt at reviving the Kamen Rider Series in the United States, after Saban's Masked Rider of 1995. They write, produce, and direct as the "The Wang Brothers."

The sculpture was placed at the Blizzard Entertainment Office in Versailles, France the same year.[1] He has also made statues of Tryndamere and Ryze, two champions from League of Legends, for Riot Games that same year.
