Tso-chi Chang
Director Chang Tso Chi was graduated from the Cinema & Drama Division of Chinese Culture University, Department of Theatrical Arts. Chang had followed and learned from many famous film directors, such as, Yue Ham Ping, Tsui Hark, Hou Hsiao Hsien and Yim Ho. Chang's first film production, Midnight Gunshot, failed to release in Taiwan due to a certain reason.

In 1996, Ah Chung, his second feature film about the traditional "Bajiajiang" dance, drew the attention from many international film festivals, for Chang unconventionally adopted non-professional actors as protagonists. In 1999, Darkness & Light, played by mostly non-professional actors, depicted stories of the blind. The influence of this film is so enormous that it had written many records in the Tokyo International Film Festival. Afterwards, Chang presented another film masterpiece, The Best of Times, and Holy Ridge, a Television drama series that he produced and directed. Soul of a Demon, released in 2007, is a film about a young man struggling over family kinship and humanity. In 2008, How are you, Dad? is produced to fulfill his father's wish. In 2010, When Love Comes broke Taiwanese film records by winning 14 nominations and 4 awards, including "Best Feature Film", in the Golden Horse Film Festival. In 2011, he shot a short historical war film, Sparkles, and was awarded the National Award for Arts. In 2013, A Time in Quchi, won the nomination in The Festival del film Locarno and two nominations in the Golden Horse Film Festival. In 2015, Thanatos, Drunk won the Siegessäule Readers' Jury Award in 65th Berlin International Film Festival and ten nominations in the Golden Horse Film Festival, including wining Best Supporting Actress, Best New Performer, Best Music and Best Film Editing awards. The latest work, The Beloved Stranger, is on pre-production.
