Director Statement
“At last, please don’t worry about your performance. Just imagine the feelings you come back home again, and say hi to grandma. That will be the best.” I have the impression that I sent this message to my family members before the last few takes to cheer them up. Thank you, grandma, for using your eyes to record our family; Thank you, the Hsu family.
