How does a gweilo with two bit roles to his name get directing gigs on five Category III productions, two with "name" actors?

The HKFA credit for Le Peintre says 'French painting consultant/dealer/trader'(?), so I guess so.
He was also the stage manager, so possibly could have 'graduated' to director...or just a random pseudonym? I dunno.

I'm still very skeptical. This basically would make him the only caucasian to direct five Chinese-language movies of any kind. If that's possible, I'm moving to Hong Kong!
