Biography
Jack Ng Wai-lun is a Hong Kong film director and screenwriter. Born in 1976, he launched his career as a screenwriter before moving behind the camera. Ng's breakthrough came through a sustained creative partnership with director Dante Lam on a string of action thrillers—Beast Stalker (2008), The Stool Pigeon (2010), Unbeatable (2013), and Cold War 2 (2016)—each earning him a Best Screenplay nomination at the Hong Kong Film Awards. His screenwriting work netted four nominations across the 28th, 30th, 33rd, and 36th editions of the ceremony. Ng made his directorial debut with the crime comedy film A Guilty Conscience in 2023, which immediately positioned him as a major voice: the film earned him a Best Director nomination at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards and a Best Directorial Debut nomination at the 36th Golden Rooster Awards. More significantly, A Guilty Conscience became the first Hong Kong domestic film directed by Ng to cross HK$100 million at the box office, a milestone that had eluded the territory's filmmakers until then. As a screenwriter and director, Ng brings narrative precision and commercial instinct to genre work. His life-path number 7 reflects a craftsperson's attention to detail and depth—qualities evident in his layered thrillers and the strategic ambition of his directorial transition.
