Timothy Yeung

Timothy Yeung is a Canadian-born Chinese filmmaker whose work lingers in the spaces between cultures — where identity, emotion, and memory quietly collide. Shaped by his multicultural upbringing, Yeung crafts stories that find grace in struggle and beauty in displacement, capturing the delicate balance of belonging and loss.

His debut feature, Finch & Midland, follows four Hong Kong immigrants in Toronto as they navigate love, longing, and the weight of the past. The film premiered to sold-out audiences at the Vancouver International Film Festival and continues its international festival journey. Anthony Wong received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 2025 Golden Horse Awards, and the film is set for distribution by Golden Scene in Asia and Equinoxe Films in North America.

Before his feature debut, Yeung honed his craft through the TIFF Filmmaker Lab, Berlinale Talents Tokyo, the First Film Festival in Xining, and the Kyoto Filmmakers Lab. His first screenplay, Yesterday Will Be Perfect, won the MAS Award at the Busan Asian Project Market and was optioned by Golden Gate Productions before being paused during the pandemic.

An MFA graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Yeung’s filmmaking merges Eastern sensitivity with Western narrative rhythm. His work is defined by empathy, restraint, and a deep reverence for those who live quietly on the margins — an ongoing search for truth, humour, and human connection across borders.
