A new Taiwanese movie is shooting now in Chiayi City in south Taiwan with Director Hsaio at the helm during a 30-day location shoot. Some informal unofficial still photos taken by this blogger's friend Mr Liao in Chiayi. Thank you Mr Liao for the good photos.

As we learn more about this movie, this blog will add some information. The movie's theme is about air pollution and it is not a comedy but a serious Taiwanese drama about serious issue. The director decided to place his story in the "local" city of Chiayi where a different kind of life obtains that the one seen in Taipei or Kaohsiung. A crew of about 100 people were on hand the other day to help with the shoot, from grips, microphone technicians, video camera people, still photographers, and the lighting and camera crews, not to mention the assistant director and the two young stars of the movie Miss Chen and Mr Huang from Taipei.

The story of the movie partly takes place at a local dry cleaning store where the woman in the movie, about 25 years old, is working. Her friend comes in the ask her to dry clean his clothes and that was the scene the film crew was shooting in these photos taken by Mr Liao, a local guy in Chiayi who kindly resent his photos to me via Facebook last night. The shoot was along a small roadnear the Mistukoshi Department store during the day and the night, and many local people who passed by on motorscooters and by foot while shopping or stopping off at nearby food stalls and restaurants stopped to watch the action, like a Hollywood movie location shot. More locations will include scenes in Chiayi County -- perhaps Minschiung and Budai and Putsu and Tongshih. We will tell you more as we learn more.

The movie has a tentative unofficial name now in English, "After That" but there is not official title yet and things might change of course before the movie is released in 2018. In  addition to the famous KANO movie, about the 1931 baseball team in Chiayi during the Japanese Colonial Period, this is the first Taiwanese movie to locate the main story in modern Chiayi.

Director Hsaio has made two \films in his career, and this is his third one. He is known as a very good director for TV commercials and MV shoots. PHOTOS HERE --
