The Films

From musicians and dancers to artists and fortune tellers: six authentic documentary portraits showcasing the daily lives, unique personalities and motivations of Mandarin tutors based across Taiwan.

Aiming to forge genuine connections between tutors and potential students for newly launched language exchange platform Wise Panda.

The films required bilingual accessibility (Mandarin/English subtitles) for website use and online advertising.

The Result

Successfully produced six compelling, broadcast-quality core films, navigating the challenges of a multi-city shoot on a demanding schedule. The portraits authentically built trust and supported WisePanda's launch.

Crucially, this project delivered hundreds of assets derived from the core films, including multiple versions, shorter cuts, and social-first deliverables, all complete with multi-language subtitles, providing extensive options for distribution across various platforms and targeted digital advertising campaigns. High-resolution stills were also extracted.
