- Though he grew up next to a movie theater and often went to see films with his father, Stanley Kwan didn’t dream of a career in cinema when he was a young child; up until middle school, he was focused on studying science.
- Kwan initially trained as an actor, but he quickly discovered that his passion lay in production. Within the stratified studio system of the Hong Kong film industry, he transitioned quickly into the roles of script supervisor and assistant director, working with Hong Kong New Wave titans such as Patrick Tam (Nomad, 1982) and Ann Hui (Boat People, 1982).
- Having witnessed Kwan’s rise in the studio system, actor turned producer Vicky Leung Lee Siu-ha convinced him to begin his career as a director. Like him, she had been involved in Ronny Yu’s The Savior (1980) and Ann Hui’s The Story of Woo Viet (1981).
- Kwan’s third feature film, Rouge, was produced by Jackie Chan. At the time, Chan had an acting and producing contract with Golden Harvest, a company that surpassed Shaw Brothers to become Hong Kong’s most productive and commercially successful studio in the 1980s.
