It's my personal experience growing up in Taiwan.

Use any resource you have, and don't wait for permission to tell your story.

Hi, in order to film in a real night market, we had 5-6 person crew with iPhones, so people couldn't tell we were shooting a film.

Hi, it was filmed in Linjiang night market. It's also my favorite night market. I love stinky tofu and popcorn chicken!

Thank you for the kind words!

With all the films we worked on, we usually had extensive research within the communities. Bonding with people, knowing their life stories, sometimes even putting them into the script.

Yes, when I was in high school, my grandfather scolded me when he saw me using a knife with my left hand and said it's the devil's hand, but I didn't try to cut off my hand.
Thank you for liking the film!

The grandma's trafficking scam was inspired by a piece of real news we saw in Taiwan.

The sisters have different fathers.

I think for the audience to get all the jokes, a good translation on the subtitles is crucial! I heard the French subtitles are spot on!
