Gin HUANG is an independent filmmaker and writer. His first book, New-Yorkology (2015，紐約學), was published by Taiwan's China Times Publishing 時報出版. In the essays, his shrewd observations on the city and its people earned him critical acclaim, which encouraged him to transition to screenplay writing and, following an intensive course at Raindance Film School in London, directing. His debut film, All About My Son (2024), had its world premiere at the 16th LGBT+ Film Festival Poland in 2025.

Telling stories that address our world's problems is Gin's specialty, as he was educated to be an economist, a political scientist and a journalist. He received four-year academic trainings in drawing and painting and later translated the skills into his hobbies of visual design and photography. He never mastered playing the piano, which he grew up studying, but has since developed a sensitivity to music, sound and rhythm — the last is crucial to him in film editing.

Previously, Gin wrote, edited, supervised and managed analytical reports for The Economist Group for over ten years. He was also a research assistant of monetary economics at a German academic institute for three years and an analyst of semiconductor equities at a boutique firm in Manhattan for a year. His career path may look varied, but the core has remained the same: exploring what the truth is through critical words, analytical numbers and artistic images.

Gin now lives in the Netherlands with his partner. When he is not traveling, he is watching a film (most likely a world-cinema one), which is his means to travel far.
