Steve Yuen Kim Wai, born in 1966 in Kowloon Walled City to a Jieyang family and raised around Kowloon Tong, studied psychology at Carleton University in Canada. Returning to Hong Kong in 1990 he joined Television Broadcasts almost by accident, starting as an assistant director in the music unit and working on programmes such as Jade Solid Gold before being promoted to director in 1992; he directed more than a hundred music videos. Small budgets drove him into commercials in 1995, and he also self-published a basketball magazine. He took a master's in film-making at Goldsmiths in London from 2006, and, inspired by a stage play in 2011, wrote and directed his first feature, released in 2016 with Karena Lam in the lead. A second feature followed in 2020, and in 2022 he directed a basketball drama series for ViuTV.
