Derek Ting
Film director, writer, and actor
In the hustling bustling business community of Hong Kong, Derek has embarked on a successful and self-made career as a multi-talented film director, writer and actor alongside his wife, producer Joyce Yung (BS & Masters, Operations Research & Industrial Engineering).
Their 2012 debut film, "$upercapitalist", a financial thriller about a New York hedge fund trader who is sent to Hong Kong to orchestrate a hostile take-over of a Hong Kong tycoon's enterprise, received acclaim amongst financial and global experts such as William Alden from New York Times Dealbook, Chrystia Freeland Global editor of Reuters "Tackles Capitalism and Identity" and Martin Fridson from Forbes "Life and art paralleled".
Building on the success of "$upercapitalist", Derek and Joyce are now set to unveil their latest Hong Kong production "Always" on the international stage, a film which tells the tale of an illicit love affair between successful Hong Kong lawyer Liam Chan and Shanghainese hotel empire heiress Yan Li, who find immense conflict in their pursuit of love and virtue, leading them to question the very foundations their lives were built upon.
