Biography
Minh Ngô (born February 2, 2003) is a writer-director hailing from Vietnam, Hawaii, and England. He is known for his short films Julius Cheezer: An Orison for a Glorious Life (2025), 49 (2024), and The Applecalypse (2024). He wishes to pioneer his own genre, which he dubs the Neo-Mythical. Films in this genre will feature the absurd, high energy, epic, and complex intertwining of narratives from our world's historical, literary and cultural canon. These stories will also be bathed in philosophical symbolism, usually championing the intricate beauty of our world, the marvelous complexity of the human mind, and the extreme powers of love. Ngô makes an active effort to ensure that his works will be unlike anything the audience have ever seen before, on both a conceptual and emotional level.
