Few people are as beloved around these parts as the inimitable WENG WENG, star of FOR Y’UR HEIGHT ONLY, THE IMPOSSIBLE KID, WILD WILD WENG, and plenty more! In fact, Weng Weng starred in a lot more films than you probably realized. Enter filmmaker Andrew Leavold whose latest project, THE SEARCH FOR WENG WENG, attempts to uncover the gritty details about the world’s greatest little person. Shot over three years, Leavold’s film took him on an amazing journey through Filipino cinema and the film is finally nearing completion.

 In fact, Leavold posted a teaser on his blog which you can see here!

Sure to be one of the most intriguing documentaries of recent times, THE SEARCH FOR WENG WENG should be done by the end of the year and it promises to be a fascinating look at one of psychotronic cinema’s true unsung heroes.

God bless you, Andrew, you’re truly doing the Lord’s work.
