Jimmy Lui was born in the South in the late 1970’s. He is not a redneck, but a proud American of Chinese descent. Like any good Southerner, if he doesn’t have anything nice to say about someone he won’t say anything at all. And like any good Chinese person, he uses chopsticks to eat and knows kung fu, among other martial arts. Jimmy considers himself a warrior anarchist.
While he excelled at science and math in school, Jimmy decided to squander his potential and pursue a career in filmmaking. He managed to earn a Bachelors of Art’s degree in Cinema-Television from the prestigious and expensive USC School of Cinematic Arts in 1999 while incurring no student debt.
Upon graduating, Jimmy found himself working alongside two of his childhood idols Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. Having the remarkable fortune of having the legendary Sammo Hung as a mentor, Jimmy fell into a career working as a fight choreographer, fight trainer, stuntman and stunt coordinator in the U.S., Chinese and Korean film industries.
Jimmy also writes, directs and produces his own projects.
