As I was growing up, my mother was struck by a severe rare illness. By her side in the hospital, I witnessed the profound changes in her life and the burden of societal judgment she had to bear. Tose feelings and the impact they had on me became the core and exploration of my filmmaking. 

In 2017, I started to engage with the Taiwan Motor Neuron Disease Association, initiating interviews with patients and their families, gradually transforming them into the film “Stills Moving.”After years of interviews and consultations with patients, medical professionals, and social workers, the team was inspired by the stories from the interviews and decided to use a combination of stop-motion animation and live-action filming.

Te process of creating stop-motion animation, capturing each movement frame by frame, second by second, is both a challenge and time-consuming. However, this combination closely mirrors the daily challenges faced by ALS patients. We hope through this combinations to vividly portray the protagonist's inner emotions and, more importantly, to act as a tribute to those combating Disease — despite facing various challenges, their hearts and emotions continue to move forward relentlessly.

Additionally, “Stills Moving” collaborates with artists from various fields, including painters, sculptors, body artists, physical performers, and puppeteers, aiming to amalgamate diverse perspectives and mediums to present this work. Trough these collaborations, the film seeks to enrich its narrative and visual expression, exploring the depth of the protagonist's journey and the transformative power of art.
