Tiger is a writer / director from Hong Kong. He first gained recognition at age 19 with his award-winning short, WUHAN DRIVER, which caught the attention of EP Jonathan Sanger (VANILLA SKY, ELEPHANT MAN). His subsequent short, DEATH & RAMEN, stars comedian Bobby Lee and actor Matt Jones from BREAKING BAD, and premiered at the Palm Springs Shortfest. It was picked up by Canal+ for distribution, and racked up 1 million views on Youtube in just over a month.

Tiger studied at NYU Gallatin, where he majored in philosophy and read a bunch of Russian literature. He has also studied under acclaimed filmmakers like Ruben Ostlund (TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, THE SQUARE), and Lucrecia Martel (LA CIÉNEGA).

Repped by UTA and Anonymous Content, Tiger is based in LA, where he develops his first feature expansion of DEATH & RAMEN with Killer Films (PAST LIVES, CAROL, MAY DECEMBER), and Fit Via Vi (OH CANADA, REALITY).

When he’s not writing, he's climbing rocks, hunting vintage Japanese denim, and scouring the internet for JDM car parts he can’t afford.
