Each Other Films Eyes Cross-Border Strategy as Taiwan Production Landscape Shifts
Each Other Films co-founders Jacqueline W. Liu and Tiffany Yu-Chia Chen shared their plans for cross-border expansion, their debut documentary Heals, and insights into Taiwan's evolving production scene. They noted that while Taiwan’s creative infrastructure has advanced thanks to initiatives such as the Golden Horse FPP and Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF), a deeper issue remains — engaging audiences with long-form storytelling.
“The biggest change isn’t just in the industry — it’s in the audience,” Chen told Variety. “Viewing habits have shifted, and fewer people are committing to long-form storytelling. That forces all of us to rethink what kinds of stories truly matter and why they should be told.”
The duo marked seven years of operation by introducing a diverse cross-border project lineup ahead of TCCF. They emphasized that while creative festivals and markets are vital for connection and collaboration, they do not fully address continuous production needs.
“For creatives, these platforms are a lifeline — they connect talent to partners and give independent voices a place to be seen,” Liu explained. “But the next step is sustainability: how do we turn that exposure into consistent production flow? That’s the structural gap we all need to bridge.”
Each Other Films aims to build sustainable collaborations across borders, balancing artistic independence with production continuity in Taiwan’s increasingly competitive film environment.
