Each Other Films unveils slate of folklore epic drag documentary
Seven years after its launch, Taiwan-based Each Other Films is entering an expanded phase of international production, with co-founder and lead producer Jacqueline W. Liu and co-founder and CEO Tiffany Yu-Chia Chen unveiling a diverse lineup that spans from documentary to big-budget action.
The quartet of projects represents an ever-expanding scope for the Taipei-based company, which has steadily built credibility through festival selections, streaming deals and local box office success since 2017.
Among the newly revealed titles is a documentary about drag artist Pangina Heals, a figure who bridges the gap between Taiwanese and Thai cultures. The film, titled ‘Heals’, represents the company’s first step into telling factual stories through an international partnership, in collaboration with Thailand’s N8 and World of Wonder.
Fiction projects include Henry Tsai’s first directorial effort, “Spent Bullets,” adapted from short stories by Taiwanese writer Terao Tetsuya. Production will take place in multiple cities, including Silicon Valley, Las Vegas and Taipei. The film has secured spots at both Golden Horse Film Project Promotion and Taiwan Creative Content Fest 2025.
The company also returns to a proven property with a new chapter in the hit series ‘The Accidental Influencer’. Centered on the character Red, “The Accidental Influencer: Love Me If You Dare” will be released in January on both GTV and Netflix, bringing the series back with additional cast members and storylines focused on contemporary relationships.
Perhaps the most ambitious entry is “The Odd Three: Madam Tiger,” which director Joseph Chen-Chieh Hsu (whose credits include “Little Big Women” and the Tokyo-bending “Double Happiness”) develops as a large-scale adventure that reinterprets traditional folklore through a modern lens. The project is positioned as a potential launching point for additional character-driven stories across the region.
“I have always believed that a story rooted in a specific place, language or authentic human connections can still move people anywhere,” said Liu. “That’s the power of cinema: it turns the personal into the universal. As we enter this next phase, I’m excited to expand what that means, especially across genre, scale and collaboration.”
“Building a production company means knowing where you want to go and choosing the right stories and people to take you there,” Chen said. “We’ve built trust over the past seven years – with creators, with partners and with each other. Now we’re ready to scale. The future of storytelling in Asia is global, and we’re here to be part of that shift.”
The company’s previous work includes the 2020 theatrical release “Little Big Women,” which topped Taiwan’s box office that year and gained recognition at the Golden Horse Awards before landing on Netflix. More recently, “The Accidental Influencer” became an HBO Asia original in 2024, while “Dreams in Nightmares” played in Berlin’s Panorama section this year. “Penguin Girl” opened the Kaohsiung Film Festival last year.
Operating under a mission statement that emphasizes female perspectives and universal connection, Each Other Films continues to develop its pipeline and pursue additional partnerships across borders.
