About Scud (filmmaker)

  • Scud (born March 20, 1967), is the working name of mainland China-born and raised Hong Kong Chinese film producer, screenwriter and now film director, Danny Cheng Wan-Cheung (??).
  • He says that he chose the name "Scud" to match his Chinese name, which translates in English as "Scudding Clouds".
  • He was born in Guangzhou (Canton) in mainland China on March 20, 1967, during the country's Cultural Revolution.
  • His films explore themes usually deemed too controversial for Hong Kong cinema, including same-sex relationships and drug-taking, and include many nude scenes of Chinese young men, whose pubic hair and genitalia are fully exposed on camera.
  • His film-making style eschews cynicism or gritty realism, and embraces an acceptance of the life choices made by his characters, rather than a search for "solutions".
  • Scud has cited Pier Paolo Pasolini, Pedro Almodovar and Peter Greenaway as directors who have influenced his work.
