Larry Yang


Larry Yang is a Chinese film director. Yang is from Harbin. He studied at the Beijing Film Academy and the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. His first feature film, Nana, received a nomination at the Five One Project Awards.
Yang decided to adapt Ge Shuiping's novel after first reading it in 2008, two years after graduating from the Beijing Film Academy. The story of a mute girl in a remote village, treated as an outsider until befriended by a young boy, resonated with his own feelings of isolation after returning to China in 2004 and struggling to establish his voice as a filmmaker.
