The greatest obstacle I have for my education in film is not knowing how much American culture I have to consciously resist in order to keep my Taiwanese style in my future productions. Today at the screening of Ang Lee's latest feature "Lust, Caution" my questions was answered. Today is a milestone for me because of this.
He said, "Don't think about that. The more you think about it, the more troubled you will become. You grew up in Taiwan and what came with that will be with you your whole life no matter what. It will come back to find you. Don't worry." Yes, he gave me confidence to compete head to head with the American filmmakers. If you don't like me calling it a competition, I guess you can also call it a collaboration.
