As a seasoned content creator who has struggled to find my voice amidst the sea of global creators, I cannot help but feel inspired and encouraged by the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF). Having spent years honing my craft, trying to tell unique stories that resonate with audiences, I see in TCCF a beacon of hope.
On Tuesday, officials and movie makers gathered in Taipei to celebrate the Taiwan Creative Content Fest as a valuable step for local and Asian creators towards global recognition.
Sue Wang, deputy minister at Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, expressed high hopes for TCCF in the upcoming years,” she stated during a speech held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, a modern facility situated in a technologically advanced suburb east of the Taiwanese capital. The event, running from November 5th to 8th, is jointly organized by the government-supported Taiwan Creative Content Agency.
A significant amount of approximately NT7.5 million ($235,000) is up for grabs as prize money for the main project pitching competition, as mentioned by Homme Tsai, head of TAICCA. This has people excitedly contacting each other with proposals like “I’ve got the funds, let’s work together!” said Tsai.
The deputy minister also emphasized money as a key point. “The TCCF has progressed significantly, moving from a modest beginning as a local exhibition platform and market to becoming one of the top B2B events globally,” Wang stated. This underscores our commitment to the content creation industries not just in our country, but worldwide.
She expressed her desire to spark a movement that ultimately empowers the private sector to lead this momentum. While money may not be able to purchase everything, it can certainly initiate something. She believes that the incentives offered by TAICCA will empower Taiwanese creators to share their narratives globally.
Behind the curtains of the grand stage performances and the formal inauguration, complete with a spectacular laser display, Dr. Lu Jiun Wei, CEO of TAICCA, stepped forward to share more insights about their strategic plans.
Although we possess compelling local stories and themes in Taiwan, our focus is on enhancing our storytelling techniques. To broaden our reach globally, we aim to adopt internationally recognized storytelling methods. This will enable us to boost the recognition of Taiwanese content in international markets. In pursuit of this goal, we’re looking to draw in more collaborative production and funding from abroad,” he explained to EbMaster.
In the past few years, Taiwan has grown in importance within the film and TV production industry across East Asia. This rise is partly thanks to initiatives by Taiwanese authorities, such as funding and structural adjustments, along with organizations like TAICCA. Moreover, international media conglomerates have found Taiwan an attractive alternative as it has become increasingly difficult to collaborate with companies in Hong Kong and mainland China.
Lu emphasized the creative advantages of democratically governed Taiwan, stating, “These talents stem from the narratives within Taiwan. We possess a wide range of themes here, such as ‘boys love’ and ‘girls love’, which are not permitted for presentation in China. We collaborate with our international associates because these distinctive subjects can only be found in Taiwan.” Lu further added, “The diversity of themes and the freedom to express these stories would be the strengths of Taiwan.
This year’s TCCF features approximately 10 more market booths than last year, now totaling over 100. Furthermore, its pitching event attracted applications from well over 600 projects across more than 50 nations and territories.
