Nail House

Big update today -  $285K, a secret menu reveal, and another prop giveaway!

Let's get into our little secret: The Chef's Special Secret Tier 🤫

If you've seen  this tier, congrats - you’re already part of the super awesome inner circle. The Chef’s Special Secret Tier is a Patreon-only tier available exclusively to our supporters over there.

All the behind-the-scenes action - the filming updates, set building deep dives, and more happen through Patreon. But this tier gives you the real-world goodies to go with it.  The Chef’s Special Secret Tier includes everything in the Takeout tier plus:
🥢 Your choice of the Mama Wong’s T-Shirt or Hat
🍥 Both enamel pins and a full sticker pack
📜 A movie-accurate print of the restaurant menu
🥟 Mama’s Secret Dumpling Recipe Card
🥢 Custom chopsticks
🎲 And a $25 savings on the Dumpling Dice Set


First up - huge congratulations to LazyDroid, winner of Danny’s Hat! 🧢 The hat will be added to your pledge - wear it well!

  Now for today’s drop - The vital lifeline of every Chinese restaurant:

Here’s Freddie with some pertinent information about this giveaway:

To claim the phone: Drop your ultimate Chinese takeout combo - entrée, side, and drink. 

Thanks to you - we've officially passed $250K raised!  The more we raise, the more creative control we maintain, which means the movie you’ll see is the one we’ve dreamed of making from the start - so thank you for that!

 🎨 Artist Spotlight: Kenny Leoncito

We have teamed up with Kenny Leoncito for the artist collab poster you can find in the Banquet Tier!

Kenny is a Filipino-Canadian illustrator and art maker based in Canada, specializing in character design, illustration, and visual development for animation. He brings a deep love for representative media and Asian Canadian visibility to everything he does - so we're VERY excited to see what he has in store for Nail House.


First up - congrats to Ariana Keller, who won Mama Wong’s Restaurant Miniature!
Matt will personally paint this piece before delivery, and it’ll be added to your pledge. If you have any questions, just shoot us a message!


One of the centerpiece props from the film, this shrine stands in Mama Wong’s restaurant as the boys pray to their mother.  It’s a heartfelt piece that carries real emotional weight on set… and yes, Freddie might have cried near it.

For a chance to win the shrine, let us know: If you were building your own shrine, what item would you put at its center?

Hey everyone! 

We’re still trucking along and just surpassed $243K - thank you all for the incredible support.

🎲 Today’s Highlight: The Dumpling Dice

We’ve partnered with our friends at FanRoll Dice to bring a little Mama Wong’s to your tabletop. These are sharp-edge resin dice with a dumpling inclusion inside, housed in a miniature steamer basket dice case, because what else would we store them in?


Congrats to Kyle Adamson, who won the Cigarette Prop, and Kyra Walsh, who took home the Placemat!


Today's Prop Drop is a test sample from our upcoming miniature restaurant/pit set! It will be painted by Matt himself before delivery. It’s the very first glimpse of the miniature world we’re building, and you can own a piece of it. Here's a video of Matt showing it off!
