Liu and co-founder and CEO Tiffany Yu-Chia Chen unveiling a diverse lineup that stretches from documentary to big-budget action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The quartet of projects represents a widening scope for the Taipei company, which has steadily built credentials through festival selections, streaming deals and local box office success since 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Among the newly revealed titles is a documentary about drag performer Pangina Heals, a figure who bridges Taiwanese and Thai cultures. The film, titled \u201cHeals,\u201d represents the company\u2019s initial move into factual storytelling through international partnership, working alongside Thailand\u2019s N8 and World of Wonder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fiction projects include Henry Tsai\u2019s first directorial effort, \u201cSpent Bullets,\u201d adapted from short stories by Taiwan writer Terao Tetsuya. Production will span 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The company is also returning to a proven property with a fresh chapter in its hit \u201cThe Accidental Influencer\u201d franchise. Centered on the character Red, \u201cThe Accidental Influencer: Love Me If You Dare\u201d will launch next January on both GTV and Netflix, bringing back the series with additional cast members and storylines focused on contemporary relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Perhaps the most ambitious entry is \u201cThe Odd Three: Madam Tiger,\u201d which director Joseph Chen-Chieh Hsu (whose credits include \u201cLittle Big Women\u201d and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/tokyo-fest-premiere-double-happiness-030142205.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tokyo-bowing \u201cDouble Happiness\u201d;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Tokyo-bowing \u201cDouble Happiness\u201d<\/a>) is developing as a large-scale adventure that reinterprets traditional folklore through a modern lens. The project is being positioned as a potential launching point for additional character-driven stories across the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that a story rooted in a specific place, language, or authentic human connections can still move people everywhere,\u201d said Liu. \u201cThat\u2019s the power of cinema \u2014 it turns the personal into the universal. As we enter this next phase, I\u2019m excited to expand what that means, especially across genre, scale, and collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cBuilding a production company means knowing where you want to go, and choosing the right stories and people to take you there,\u201d added Chen. \u201cWe\u2019ve spent the past seven years building trust \u2014 with creators, with partners, and with each other. Now, we\u2019re ready to scale. The future of Asian storytelling is global, and we\u2019re here to be part of that shift.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The company\u2019s previous work includes the 2020 theatrical release \u201cLittle Big Women,\u201d which topped the Taiwan box office that year and earned recognition at the Golden Horse Awards before landing on Netflix. More recently, \u201cThe Accidental Influencer\u201d became an HBO Asia original in 2024, while \u201cDreams in Nightmares\u201d played Berlin\u2019s Panorama section this year. \u201cPenguin Girl\u201d opened last year\u2019s Kaohsiung Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Operating under a mission statement emphasizing female perspectives and universal connection, Each Other Films continues developing its pipeline while pursuing additional partnerships across borders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.variety.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Variety's Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Variety&#8217;s Newsletter<\/a>.
