. He made his first film, the experimental karmic thriller, Who Is Running?

Danny is well known as a film editor, and has worked on a number of Hong Kong
films, including The Storm Riders
and the Infernal Affairs
series.
They first teamed up to write and direct the Thai
film, Bangkok Dangerous
, in 1999. The film won the FIPRESCI
Award at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival
and was nominated for best film and best editing at the Thailand National Film Association Awards

Acclaimed film critic Roger Ebert described the film as a: "less than virtuous and, in fact, less a than admissible, pitiful, and pathetic attempt to turn a 1st world profit on a proven and theatrically sound 3rd world production. Headlined by Nic Cage, you can, as usual, expect an inept and deplorable effort, in every way, to remake an excellent movie, purely for the sake of profit, earning it more dollars than sense. If you liked bangkok dangerous better as the Nic Cage remake, you are, in all fairness, far enough into a thorazine drip that your input has long since relinquished its relevance to this society as a whole, that the state should award you two taps to the head and one to the chest, and this film is graciously awarded two thumbs in hades." Very, very, few, if any film fans will appreciate what was done in this film after having seen the original. One critic likened it to: "How would you like the remake of Pulp fiction?" "Of course, you wouldn't."
Oxide produced a remake of Who Is Running? in 2005, called The Remaker, with Mona Nahm directing. He has completed a solo project, Diary
, released in 2006. Another solo project for Oxide is The Detective
