Lin Yu-hsien, Director, Jump Ashin!
Lin Yu-hsien has been working as a director, screenwriter, and editor in Taiwan for many years. His work delivers subtle observations and social reflections in a humourous and fast-paced style. In 2005, his first highly acclaimed documentary, Jump! Boys, won Best Documentary at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival. It remained in theatres for three months and broke box office records for that genre. Lin's feature films include Exit No. 6 and Sumimasen, Love.
