Meeting Memories: 牽做伙

Four family members, three generations, one question none of them answered the same way: what does home mean when you've left it?

It started as an attempt to meet the grandfather I never knew, he passed away 13 years before I was born. Retracing his years in Japan led me to my granduncle who left for Hong Kong and never returned, my aunt who raised her kids in the US and now lives between two countries, and to myself, still deciding where I belong: my birth home in Taiwan, or my built home in the US? Meeting Memories became a documentary about all four of us: the same question, four different answers.

My Role

Director and Producer. I scheduled and coordinated with all 23 relatives across 19 filming locations in Taiwan and Japan, hired and managed the full crew, including contracts and briefings, and now guide post-production with a professional editor shaping the four-character structure.

Where it stands

In post-production, cutting toward a festival-ready version with a professional editor. Backed by institutional support from the I-Mei Foundation for Arts and Education and SVA Design for Social Innovation.
