Dante Lam Chiu Yin

Dante is a senior director in Hong Kong’s movie industry. Ever since he joined the production crew as planner and action director on the movie First Option in 1996, Hong Kong found itself another talented contributor to its action films. Dante’s outstanding work over the past years has included Armageddon, Option Zero, Beast Cops, When I Look Upon The Stars, 2000 A.D., Jiang Hu – The Triad Zone, Hit Team, Runaway, “I Would Rather Leave The Sadness To Myself (寧願最傷心的給我自己)”, Tiramisu, Twins Effect, Naked Ambition, Love On The Rocks and Undercover Hidden Dragon, etc. His works exhibit extreme diversity and feature an uncommon personal style. In the 18th Hong Kong Film Awards, Dante received the Best Director Award for the movie Beast Cops. The “Hong Kong Police” advertisement he directed also won the International Film Audio-Visual Gold Award at the New York TV Festival in 2001.

In 2005, Dante took up another challenge in his movie career. He was engaged by Puzzle Animation Studio Limited to work as director on the animated movies, Sparkling Red Star and Storm Rider – Clash of the Evils. These two animated films are tremendously different from those performed by real actors. With his extensive directing experience and skilful manoeuvring of the camera, he communicates a very special sense in the two movies. Sparkling Red Star and Storm Rider – Clash of the Evils display a unique style which is very different from traditional animation movies!
