Her NYU student film High Finance won Best Film at the New York, Bronx and Venice Film festivals. She received her MFA degree as a Directing Fellow from the American

Film Institute. Heckerling’s directorial debut was the teen hit Fast Times at Ridgemont High, spotlighting such young talent as Sean Penn, Nicolas Cage, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Forest Whitaker, Eric Stoltz, Anthony Edwards and Judge Rheinhold.

She went on to write and direct the John Travolta and Kirstie Alley box office smashes Look Who’s Talking and Look Who’s Talking Too. Look Who’s Talking won the People’s Choice Award for Best Comedy and at the time of its release was the most profitable comedy in the history of cinema.

He was an assistant director for Tsui Hark and went on to become one of the major directors of the 2nd New Wave of Hong Kong Cinema in the late 1980s. He is renowned for his on-location realism and a sensitivity for humanistic drama, always motivated to root his characters into the social context of an era. His first majorly acclaimed film Gangs (1988) deals with triad youths.
