導演陳敏郎畢業於紐約大學電影研究所，是大導演李安的學弟，至今編劇、導演過數部短片，並曾以優異成績於2000年榮獲「李安獎學金」。陳敏郎畢業後做過聲音設計與翻譯工作，但心中仍對電影無法忘懷；於是便一面工作，一面進行劇本寫作，於2007年以《你的今天和我的明天》獲得行政院新聞局優良電影劇本獎後，也得到台灣電影輔導金的資助拍攝，期間耗時6年，完成了自己的第一部電影處女作《你的今天和我的明天》。

 

陳敏郎曾擔任馬其頓電影《我來自提圖夫》（I am from Titov Veles）副導演，該片獲選2008年坎城影展ACID（獨立電影製作發行協會）單元。同年，陳敏郎的首部劇情片劇本《你的今天和我的明天》（Tomorrow Comes Today）榮獲新聞局優良劇本獎， 並入圍日舞影展劇本工場（Sundance Writer’s Lab）參選決賽。2009年，陳敏郎再以該片劇本獲選為曼哈頓「下城文化協會寫作工作室」獎助的唯一電影劇本寫作者。

旅居紐約多年，陳敏郎以這部首部電影《你的今天和我的明天》，展現了他的超強人脈，幕後團隊名單洋洋灑灑十分驚人，值得一提的是，該片動用歐美一級製片班底，而片中重要演員幾乎全為華人。
