Wong Kar-wai (born 17 July 1958) is a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter and producer.
He began his career as a screenwriter in 1982, then made his directoral debut in 1988.
Wong has also directed short films, commercials, and two music videos.
Regarding Wong's early work as a screenwriter, film scholar Peter Brunette noted that "different transcription systems from Chinese make compiling a filmography for a Chinese director an exercise in creativity and hope.
"[1] Wong also claims to have contributed to c. 50 film scripts without official credit so a full filmography is difficult to provide.
