Director Statement

I grew up in Taiwan and picked a major I had no interest based on my test score. People thought I made a great choice, I got 4 accounting certifications and licensed as a public accountant for over 20 years.

But was that a right choice? 5 years ago, I made a few videos. Now I made over 400 films and won 873 IMDb awards. Can you imagine how far I could have gone if I started 30 years ago?

So I made this films with my interns. I am sure you will be touched by the hearts of these young college students.
