As Chiao has learned from constantly shuttling between international film festivals, every time a film from Taiwan receives favorable notices, what follows is embarrassment when no one buys the rights. Film companies and agents say, "If all Taiwanese films are full of suffering and tragedy, then we won't see any more next time," laments Chiao.
常在國際影展上穿梭的她說，每次台灣電影獲得讚譽，接下來總有賣不出去的尷尬，片商、經紀人會說，「如果台灣電影還是這麼悲苦，下次我們不看了。」
