origin story

It started with no budget.

Bao Duong Beer was freshly brewed from the minds of The Paper Tiger’s master production designer Wing Lee and his art department, helmed by art director Jasmine Cho. The production was in need of possible product placement for the beer that the Three Tigers, played by Alain Uy, Ron Yuan, and Mykel Shannon Jenkins, were drinking. There wasn’t enough time to get approval by local beer brands so Wing came up with the brilliant idea of creating our own brand. Using the combination of director Bao Tran and producer Al’n Duong’s names, he created Bao Duong Beer. This brand can be seen in several scenes of The Paper Tigers. Did you catch them all?
