About the Director, Tzu-Juo Hsu

In 2008 I shot a Documentary short film” A love letter for Family”. It is about the Alzheimer's disease of my grandmother. This film had been broadcasted around the elementary school, high school and even the community, sharing the symptom of Alzheimer's disease and how to control it when a slight symptom of this disease come in the early stage. We also shared with students how life was joyful to create this family film with elders.

But it is impossible to let young people understand how to prevent Alzheimer's disease and delay this disease only by me and my film.
Therefore, I shoot a comedian Documentary long video” Zombie Film with Grandpas and Grandmas “aiming to come to theater around the whole Taiwan to make Taiwan people look at this disease in a positive way.
