Willie Ying: Movie Director





Willie Ying: Director, stuntman specializing in Chinese martial arts.

Willie emigrated to New Zealand from China when he was a child, and became interested in martial arts.

That training led to his career as an Aukland-based stuntman.

With an abundance of movie and television credits as a stunt performer and stunt coordinator, he followed his passion for directing, and has been honored with numerous awards.

As an adult, Willie returned to Beijing, China, and describes himself as the Chinese Kiwi filmmaker. 

I photographed him during his first trip to the United States.
