Director's Statement

A-Hâ's Egg Cake, released in 2022, is a Taiwanese animated film based on the stories of family affection and memories through delicate and realistic scenes, combined with full of Taichung regional accents and slang which provoke a strong sense of emotional resonance amongst the audience. We used both CG and hand-drawn animation in A-Ha's Egg Cake, with high contrast lighting and warm colors to create the specific atmosphere, leading everyone immerse in the memories and stories in Taichung as the heroine did. As the story goes on, it seems to reveal those feelings and homesickness that gradually being ignored by everyone due to the routine busy working life. For those strangers in the city - Live of the moment, and cherish your loved ones! According to A-Hâ, " To make living, to be positive.''
