Non-fungible tokens (NFT) was very trendy around 2021 and 2022. As a writer/director, I would like to document how artists try to seize the opportunity to create and experiment with this new application for the potential future reference. Luckily Discovery Channel Taiwan and TaiwanPlus together picked this pitch up and allowed me to make it happen.
In 2017/2018, I worked as the main writer of the English/International version of Secrets of Pangolin for Discovery Channel Taiwan. The series later was nominated for Golden Bell Awards, the most prestigious TV awards in Taiwan
