Scud is the working name of Hong Kong Chinese film producer, screenwriter and now film director, Danny Cheng Wan-Cheung. He says that he chose the name 'Scud' to match his Chinese name, which translates in English as 'Scudding Clouds'. He was born in Guangzhou on March 20, 1967, during the country's Great Cultural Revolution. His films explore themes usually deemed too controversial for Hong Kong cinema, including same-sex relationships and drug-taking, and include many nude scenes of Chinese young men, whose pubic hair and private parts are fully exposed on camera. His film-making style eschews cynicism or gritty realism, and embraces an acceptance of the life choices made by his characters, rather than a search for 'solutions'
