Li Yang was born in Jiangsu province (China) in 1981. After a Major in Finance at the Nanjing Audit University, he enters the prestigious Beijing Film Academy in 2005. There, he takes part to many student film crews as a writer, director, cinematographer, gaffer or even actor. After 3 years of experience in different projects, and after a Golden Word Prize from the 5th Beijing Film Academy Department of Literature for his screenplay “Control”, he finally receives his degree of Master. Once out of School, he is soon contacted by TV channels for his writing skills, which leads him to work as a free-lance scriptwriter and director in Beijing. Between 2008 and 2009, he writes 5 long features (currently in preproduction or to be broadcasted) for the national television CCTV 6. His first short film as a director, “Helpless”, gains world recognition thanks to its selection in 2010 Clermont Film Festival.
