Time with Terence Chang

Born in Hong Kong, producer Terence Chang is known in film circles for his business savvy and artistic acumen. After studying architecture at the University of Oregon and film at New York University, he returned to Hong Kong and worked as a production manager on two films before joining Rediffusion Television (RTV, now ATV). By the mid-1980s, he was in charge of distribution at D&B Films, successfully launching the careers of Michelle Yeoh (he later became her manager) and Brandon Lee. As general manager at Film Workshop, he was in charge of The Killer, Swordsman, Spy Games, Love and Death in Saigon, A Chinese Ghost Story 2, and Gunmen. During this time, he and John Woo became business partners, and the rest, as they say, is history.
