  • Trailer: 2007

Michael Wai studies Media Studies for one of his optional subjects. For one of his coursework task, he formed a group with Nicholas Chan, Jason Tsang, Thomas Wong and Arman Marwah. They had to produce a 2 minutes long film trailer. Michael Wai worked as Executive Producer, Director of Photography, Editor, Set Designer, Lighting Designer and occasionally Camera Operator, while Nicholas Chan directs the movie with Thomas Wong as the key character and a guest appearance by the director's girlfriend back-then, Emily Cheng. Therefore, an official MizX Co. Productions logo can be seen at the start of the trailer. They completed this trailer in October 2007 and uploaded the clip onto YouTube but only friends were allowed to view the clip due to copyright restrictions. The clip then became available to the public in November 2007 when the Halloween event was over.

  • The Movie: 2008

On September 28, 2007, MizX Co. Production announced that they will be producing the real and first movie, entitled as the original trailer Do Not Disturb with the same storyline and schedule to release in October, 2008. This movie's plot feature a "scare-actor" who is scared of his character himself and challenges his ultimate fear in one of the haunted maze. It is announced that majority of the filming will occur in Ocean Park Hong Kong's Annual Halloween Event: Ocean Park Halloween Bash and therefore features a lot of back-lot, haunted maze and sneak-peaks of Ocean Park Halloween Bash 2008. Both parties signed not to spill any inner news as it may cause harm and spoil both the event and the movie.

  • Do Not Disturb: The Walkthrough

In order to collect CAS hours to complete their IB course, Michael Wai and his friends would have to make a charity function. They are currently thinking of building a haunted house in their school's drama studio 2, with the name Do Not Disturb: The Walkthrough, the maze will be decorated to share the same theme of the forthcoming motion picture and its already completed trailer. Rumors said the director of the film, Nicholas Chan, refused to help in this event as he think it would spoil the movie as the house is filled with movie props and would reveal the movie secrets.[citation needed]

[edit] Side projects

As the founder of the MizX Co. Productions, Michael Wai loves to put the company logo everywhere as much as he could, for example, all his ICT Coursework ends with a copyright notice in the end. All powerpoint presentation ends with the MizX Co. Productions logo on the last slide just to make it remarkable.

Michael Wai often creates icons/posters for his relationships.

MizX Co. Productions produced an artwork photo album, sold as a merchandise in a local theatre show. The manager said they sold more than 300 copies of that production piece. Unfortunately, MizX Co. didn't earn any profit for that particular production but yet earned a bit of fame.

[edit] Future of MizX Co.

MizX Co. Productions will remain operating in Hong Kong even if founder Michael Wai leaves Hong Kong for the U.S. and university. Wai said he would possibly form another production company while in the U.S., but definitely will not bring MizX Co. Productions into the U.S.

While MizX Co. Productions remains operating in HK, it will possibly be run by one of the co-founders John Lee until Wai returns.
