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 discuss their company’s cross-border growth plans, debut documentary “Heals,” and the evolving challenges within Taiwan’s production environment. Over the past years, the island’s creative infrastructure has grown stronger through initiatives such as Golden Horse FPP and the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF). Yet, according to the filmmakers, the real obstacle lies in audience behavior toward long-form storytelling.
“The biggest change isn’t just in the industry — it’s in the audience,” said Chen. “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.”
On the eve of TCCF, and coinciding with the company’s seventh anniversary, Each Other Films revealed a new cross-border production lineup, underscoring its ambition to deepen international collaborations and strengthen creative exchange.
“For creatives, these platforms are a lifeline — they connect talent to partners and give independent voices a place to be seen,” Liu commented. “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.”
