ABSTRACT
Wei Te-Sheng was born in 1969 in Yongkang City, Tainan County in Taiwan. He has assistant director credits on many films, including Edward Yang's Mahjong and Chen Guo-fu's Double Vision. Wei made his debut feature About July as a modest independent production in 1999, winning praise from critics in Taiwan and a Special Mention from the Dragons & Tigers Award jury at the Vancouver Film Festival. His second feature, Cape No.7, was also made on a relatively modest scale but became the highest-grossing Taiwanese film in the history of Taiwan cinema and picked up top prizes at the Golden Horse awards, Hawaii Film Festival and Asian Marine Film Festival. The huge success of Cape No.7 helped Wei raise the finance to make Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale, a project he had nurtured since the mid-1990s. In 2014, he took on the role of producer and completed two films, Kano, and Pusu Qhuni.
