Violet would prove to become a lifelong supporter and friend in Marion's career, and would soon star in Wong's first motion picture.

Her uncle, Ben Lim, described in a 1916 newspaper article as a “wealthy Chinese merchant and landowner”, provided the funding.

[4] She served as a writer, director, producer, designer, and actor for her works, establishing the company as a promising independent studio.

The film was a familial labor of love, featuring sister-in-law Violet in the lead role, playing a modern Chinese American woman in San Francisco.

Marion was also featured in the film in a smaller role, with parts also written for her mother, as well as Violet's daughter, Stella.

A love story begins here and is carried through the rest of the production.”[8] Even with all of her efforts, The Curse of Quon Gwon only had two screenings after its completion.

The Curse of Quon Gwon does not feature any “calculating dragon ladies or bumbling coolies”, and as a result, distributors prevented the film from being seen across the nation, despite its critical acclaim and tremendous scope.

[9] Wong raised a family of entertainers as well, her daughter Arabella Hong-Young having attended Juilliard then continuing on to originate the role of Helen Chiao in Broadway's Flower Drum Song.

Much like The Curse of Quon Gwon, Flower Drum Song is celebrated as a landmark in representation of Asian-Americans in American art.

[8] The film features The Curse of Quon Gwon prominently, including both excerpts and interviews from Violet's daughters.

The two reels found are labeled four and seven, leaving one to suspect that the entire film ran roughly ninety minutes in length.

[6] With only 25 films accepted annually, this motion picture was considered historic for the history of Asian American cinema.

Currently, there is still a hope for the resurgence of both the shooting script and the missing reels of The Curse of Quon Gwon.

The film in its current form has an original score composed by Judy Rosenberg and has had screenings at universities and theaters across the globe.
