Clifton Ko, born in 1958, is a Hong Kong director and producer and a cross-media creator whose work spans film, television drama, concerts, stage plays and television programmes; he founded Spring-Time Stage Productions. He attended a primary school in Hung Hom and a secondary school in Kwun Tong up to Form Three, then moved to Macau to study at a school where he was a member of its 38th graduating class. Spotted by the noted Hong Kong playwright Leung Lap-yan, he joined RTV in 1977 as a screenwriter for two years, entering the industry at only nineteen and working on dramas including The Crocodile Tears and a hit crime serial; in 1980 he moved to Television Broadcasts as assistant director to comedian Fung Tsui-fan. He also began writing film scripts in 1979 and formally directed his first film in 1984. Ko wrote and directed many Chinese-language comedies: Chinese New Year hits such as All's Well, Ends Well, its sequels and family comedies; youth pictures including the Happy Ghost series and Merry Christmas; and the box-office record-holder It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World among others. In the early 1990s he took a bold turn to musicals and women's films, creating the hit stage and screen versions of a nostalgic romance set in a 1960s nightclub.
