Taiwanese Telco Unveils Slate of International Co-Productions to Boost Taiwan's Content Exports

As of November 6th, 2025, Taiwanese telco Chunghwa Telecom has unveiled an ambitious slate of film and TV projects in partnership with Taiwanese creators and regional co-production partners. The goal is to bring Taiwan's original content to international audiences.

The slate, announced at the ongoing Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF), includes several notable projects. One is the Taiwan-Japan co-production "Arrested Memory," a crime drama directed by Japanese filmmaker Sabu and starring Taiwanese actor Ethan Juan. The film follows a detective with Alzheimer's Disease.

Chunghwa Telecom has also invested in two projects from Taiwanese production company Greener Grass: the crime drama series "The Fame" and the Taiwan-Korea coming-of-age romance film "The Photo From 1977," set for release on December 24, 2025.

Additionally, the company is backing the high-rise disaster film "Dangling," Taiwan's first movie of its kind, featuring a star-studded cast including Austin Lin, Wu Kang-ren, and Angela Yuen.

Beyond these film and TV investments, Chunghwa Telecom operates the Hami Video streaming platform, which currently ranks first among domestic OTT platforms in Taiwan for both viewing frequency and paid subscriptions, according to the latest industry data.

The company's strategy focuses on three key pillars: launching the "T-Wave" to support Taiwanese talent reaching global markets, expanding the audiovisual ecosystem through investments, and empowering marketing through platform alliances to create a new force in premium streaming.
