Have both James Wan and Aqeel Ahmed worked as film directors?
James Wan James Wan (born 27 February 1977) is a Malaysian-Australian film director, screenwriter, and producer.
Scud (filmmaker) Scud (born 1967, Guangzhou), is the working name of mainland China-born and raised Hong Kong Chinese film producer, screenwriter and now film director, Danny Cheng Wan-Cheung (云翔). 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 (Canton) in mainland China on March 20, 1967, during the country's 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 genitalia 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'.
