Letters from Taiwan

Urban Nomad Film Festival

Taipei, Taiwan: April 26th ~ May 5th 2013

For more information:

“BBS - Silent Code”. Watched this at second run the other night. Amazing graphics, good storyline, acting was adequate, music score was stirring, locations were beautifully shot, great original idea and discussion of wider social issues and nice plot twists. The only thing that disappointed, for me, was the ending - they could have cut about 3-4 mins and gone out on a high note, at the police station.
