Taiwan has come up with ambitious plans for the American Film Market this year by presenting a virtual pavilion headlined by award-winning titles and recent film festival favorites, in the hope of boosting the self-governed island’s visibility internationally as a production hub as well as a choice of location shootings.
The growing appeal of Asian content in recent years, whether it is films or TV series streaming on international platforms, has made it possible to further promote Taiwanese content abroad, says Alice Chang, deputy CEO of Taiwan Creative Content Agency (Taicca), an intermediary organization set up in 2019 supervised by the Ministry of Culture to promote the island’s content industries.

Taiwan production and facilities company Awesomeworks Production has opened a specialist studio in New Taipei City, dedicated to the filming of medical and hospital scenes.
The facility is intended to improve the production infrastructure for local productions and to help attract international filming to the island. That dual ambition helped it attract support from Taiwan Creative Content Agency (Taicca), a government agency established in 2019.
Hospital and medical professionals are popular topics for film and TV series locally and globally. But it can be difficult for operational hospitals to rent out surgery rooms, emergency rooms, and other areas for filming, especially with the recent increased demand for medical services during the pandemic.
The new studio is equipped with hospital beds, professional medical equipment, operating tables, waiting rooms, and cashier counters. It also provides of extra space for film crews, lighting, hair and makeup areas.
