just came across your write-up, thank you for your words... and despite me not actually being Taiwanese it discribes so well what I still feel when watching it for the probably 50th time, it was 8 years of my live here and every time I watch it I relive all those moments, all the people I got to meet, all the knowledge shared... and then I see, hear and feel the audience and their reaction amd it's such a reward, even more so when there is time for Q&A after screenings or people come and talk to me afterwards outside... I really hope our film and my images in it reach the hearts and minds of people here and abroad (like at the many many festivals it already screened...) and it is a little pay back from my to the place I call home now...
You did such a beautiful job Michael!!!! Bravo! Even after watching it half a dozen times, I still got teary-eyed at certain scenes. I am very curious to hear more about what audience members told you—I think we'll see each other again at the convo Darice is organizing? Hopefully so!
Thank you, and yes, I will be on the panel at the event Darice is organizing... not sure when it will be happening now... otherwise I am always up for a cup of coffee (or similar...) and a chat with you guys... hope all is well...
Yay Susan, thank you for being such a source of hope!! I've been following all your FB posts but not just followed your IG. You're such an ideal connection for me to Kalamazoo...thanks for doing what you do =)

Always a great read. Now I just gotta find a screener for A Chip Odyssey...
aww thank you so much for reading dear Vickie! Means a lot coming from you.
Regarding hope- someone saw our Visibility Brigade, with the big letter messages we put over the highway, and put a post up about it on a Reddit. I’m going to keep this handy for myself when things feel rough https://www.reddit.com/r/kzoo/comments/1mf9z63/to_the_protesters_on_lovers_lane_over_131/?share_id=_9Nzq0nt_SlhFiioNEBcH&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1
And here's our group's Instagram for those wondering what a Visibility Brigade is :) https://www.instagram.com/kalamazoovisibilitybrigade/
