Born in Taiwan, Hung Lin has been living in Australia for the past 13 years. Having been influenced by art and film for a long time, Hung’s love of animating began five years ago with his enrolment in Diploma of Arts (Illustration) at the Chisholm Tafe in Frankston in Melbourne, Australia. Inspired by any kind of story, Hung particularly focuses on the everyday lives of the people surrounding him, examining the complex interweaving of both the mundane and surreal aspects of life, in an industrialized world.

Hung Lin is an artist who considers himself to always be on a brink of madness and destruction; any form of art and artists inspires him. Hung describes his life as bitter and sweet, however, whenever he is down and it seems the whole world has closed on him, hope always guides him in the right direction. Hung’s first animation film An Unusual Circumstance was selected as part of the Melbourne International Animation Festival 2006 and was screened on the opening night of the festival.
