Biography

Lee Kung-Lok (李公樂) is a Hong Kong director. He studied Painting at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 1991. He first worked in the film industry in 1996 as a script supervisor on Lawyer Lawyer (算死草). He began serving as assistant director in 1999 with House of the Damned (屍氣逼人), but as the film industry continued to slump, he switched to working as a television production assistant. He also produced making-of features for the film company China Star (中國星集團公司), which is how he met Wong Ching-Po (黃精甫). He and Wong Ching-Po founded Red Flag Production, and produced and co-directed the film Fu Bo (福伯) in 2003. In 2006, he was invited by Andy Lau (劉德華) of Focus Films Limited to take part in the FOCUS First Cuts program, and directed his first solo feature, My Mother Is a Belly Dancer (師奶唔易做).
