Internationally award-winning filmmaker, Yung Chang, made his first feature documentary, “Up The Yangtze” in 2007. The film used China’s highly contested Three Gorges Dam as a dramatic backdrop for a moving and richly detailed narrative of a peasant family negotiating unprecedented historic changes. “Up The Yangtze” played at numerous festivals, including Sundance, and was one of the top-grossing documentary box office releases in 2008. “China Heavyweight” is Chang’s sophomore film. He is currently in production on “The Fruit Hunters”, a feature documentary about nature, commerce and obsession in the fruit underworld. Slated for a Fall 2012 release. He is also currently writing “Eggplant”, his first feature film, about a Chinese wedding photographer.
