Biography

Mason Ma is a versatile filmmaker from mainland China, who now primarily works in Hollywood, California. Growing up influenced by '90s Hong Kong cinema, he had always wanted to work in films. He was educated at the New York Film Academy's Los Angeles campus, where he trained in acting and filmmaking, earned two degrees, and participated in numerous student plays and films. In screenwriting, his style focuses on westernizing and updating early Hong Kong movies, blending their signature genres and tones with contemporary Hollywood storytelling. On the side, he worked as an English drama coach for children at Dreamaker Education in Beijing, teaching basic stage techniques in English while directing student actors. Meanwhile, he invested in and co-produced international indie short films and created subtitles and captions to help Chinese audiences better understand foreign content.
