Lin, Yu-Hsien

Lin Yu-Hsien 林育賢
Director of Elephant Boy and Robogirl

Wit and humor dominate Lin Yu-Hsien's creations as he looks upon the issues that society faces. With his Jump Boys Films production, his works always reflect the humanity in situations. His shorts "Pray for Graffiti" and "His-Men Street" were in the running at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival International Digital Shorts Competition in 2002 and 2003, respectively. His first documentary《 Jump! Boys》 was named Best Documentary at the Golden Horse Film Festival and broke box office records for the genre, being shown in Taiwan's theatres for three months. In 2006,《 Jump! Boys》 was aired in Japan, where it was well received. That same year, Lin was invited by Business Weekly to work on the documentary 《Elephant Boy and Robogirl》as part of the《One Taiwan, Two Worlds》series.《Exit No. 6》is the director's first narrative film.

Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, terrific blog!
