Biography

Kiwi Chow Kwun-wai was born in Hong Kong in 1979. He studied directing at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), making the short piece Nian (2003) in his sophomore year and his graduation project Grandma’s Room (2004) won the Best Director award of the school. Upon graduation, he worked in the film industry on continuity, assistant directing and editing; he also served as director and editor on the making-of feature of the martial arts film Fearless (2006) and other films. In 2005, Chow started teaching at his alma mater, HKAPA, as guest lecturer. He also continued to make short films, his 16mm work Upstairs (2006) winning awards at several local and international film festivals. He also scripted and directed A Good Thing (2009), Sensitive (2010) and My White Balloon (2011). Furthering his studies, he obtained a Master’s degree at HKAPA in 2013. The same year, he finished his debut feature A Complicated Story (2013), which was screened at the 37th Hong Kong International Film Festival.
