Question: Which director was born first, Joe D'Amato or Alan Mak?
Context: Alan Mak (born 1984) is a British Conservative Party politician who was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Havant constituency in Hampshire in 2015.  He is the first person of Chinese and East Asian origin to be elected to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. Infernal Affairs is a 2002 Hong Kong crime-thriller film directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak.  It tells the story of a police officer who infiltrates a triad, and a police officer secretly working for the same gang.  The Chinese title means ""The Unceasing Path"", a reference to Avici, the lowest level of Hell in Buddhism, where one endures suffering incessantly.  The English title is a word play, combining the law enforcement term "internal affairs" – typically the division of any law enforcement agency that would be responsible for (among other things) finding a mole – with the adjective "infernal", meant in this case as a reference not to fires or infernos in general, but specifically to the inferno of Hell ("Inferno" being the Italian word for "Hell").  Thus, the English title is both a phonetic pun and – like the Chinese title – an allusion to a place or condition of eternal suffering.  "Infernal Affairs" is the first in the Infernal Affairs series and was followed by "Infernal Affairs II" and "Infernal Affairs III". The Lost Bladesman is a 2011 Hong Kong-Chinese historical war and biopic action film loosely based on the story of Guan Yu crossing five passes and slaying six generals in Luo Guanzhong's historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".  Written and directed by Alan Mak and Felix Chong, the film starred Donnie Yen as Guan Yu, with Yen also serving as the film's action director. Alan Mak Siu-fai (; born 1 January 1965), is a Hong Kong writer, director, actor and producer. Havant is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2015 by Alan Mak.  He is the first person of Chinese and East Asian origin to be elected to the House of Commons. Andrew Lau Wai-Keung (born 4 April 1960) is a Hong Kong film director, producer, and cinematographer.  Lau began his career in the 1980s and 1990s, serving as a cinematographer to filmmakers such as Ringo Lam, Wong Jing and Wong Kar-wai.  In the 1990s, Lau decided to have more creative freedom as a cinematographer by becoming a film director and producer.  Apart from making films in his native Hong Kong, Lau has also made films in China, Korea and the United States.  A highly prolific filmmaker, Lau has made films in a variety of genres, and is most notable in the West for his action and crime films which include the "Young and Dangerous" film series, the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy (the latter co-directed together with Alan Mak), and "Revenge of the Green Dragons" (executive produced by Martin Scorsese). Infernal Affairs III is a 2003 Hong Kong crime thriller film directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak.  It is the third and final installment in the "Infernal Affairs" film series, and is both a sequel and a semi-prequel to the original film, as it intercuts events before and after the events in the first film.  Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Kelly Chen, Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang, and Chapman To reprise their roles again, joined by new cast members Leon Lai and Chen Daoming. Joe D'Amato (birth name: Aristide Massaccesi; 15 December 1936 in Rome – 23 January 1999 in Rome) was an Italian filmmaker who is most well known for his horror and adult films. Overheard 2 is a 2011 Hong Kong crime thriller film produced by Derek Yee, written and directed by Alan Mak and Felix Chong and starring Louis Koo, Lau Ching-wan and Daniel Wu.  It is a sequel to the 2009 film "Overheard" where Koo, Lau and Wu play different roles with a different storyline, but the key elements of the first film are kept.  Another sequel, "Overheard 3" was released on 30 May 2014. Nude Fear is a 1998 Hong Kong psychological horror-thriller film directed by Alan Mak, starring Kathy Chow as a homicide detective pursuing a recently resurfaced serial killer who raped and killed her mother 23 years before.  The film is Mak's directorial debut.
