How director Raman Hui's personal journey mirrors his animated fantasy flick 'The Tiger's Apprentice'
Director Raman Hui's initial encounter with the “The Tiger’s Apprentice” animated film script was not just a mere exploration of another cinematic venture; it was a voyage into his own past. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Hui, who discovered his passion for drawing at a young age, found himself moving to Silicon Valley to become an animator. While Hui fulfilled his dream to work for Pacific Data Images, later acquired by DreamWorks Animation, he spent years trying to isolate himself from coworkers because he spoke little English.
