Hyung-Kun (Hillfigure) Hwang is a filmmaker and a professional musical theater director.

Born in Spain, he lived in various countries including Perú, Italy, England, Venezuela, the U.S. and more. He had decided to become a filmmaker when he was eight years old, and he has been producing various scripts and films ever since.

He has studied Visual & Media Arts in Emerson College, and he is currently working in a South Korean commercial film company 'Rod Pictures' where he is writing feature length screenplays. He has also worked as a script supervisor in KAFA (Korean Academy of Film Arts) feature film 'Iron Mask', which won best South Korean film in Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.

He has made various short films growing up, three of which won awards in Korean Youth Film Festival three years in a row.

At college freshman year, he wrote and directed a short film 'Christmas Present', which was released in South Korean theaters and major streaming platforms as an anthology film 'Moebius' in 2021. He has also written and directed a feature film 'Dear Name' in 2021, which was screened and awarded in various international film festivals including Catalina Film Festival and Vancouver Independent Film Festival.

Outside of film, he has directed and wrote a 1.5 million dollar budget musical called 'Stand or Die, Nak-dong River'. It toured in major theaters all around South Korea including Seoul Universal Arts Center.

But his greatest love is cinema, and from his experience of living in many countries growing up, he realized that a well-made genre film could move and engage diverse people despite their nationality. Hence, he considers genre a 'universal language', and he hopes to communicate with the world through making as many highly engrossing genre films that reflects the human condition and society.
