DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKERS AT TNNUA

Tainan National University of the Arts (TNNUA) once had some of the best documentary filmmakers (students), from 1998-2006. The Department has been destroyed by the worst of Taiwan educational politics, power addiction, professor's ego, misguided academia, and fear of creativity.

Find a good teacher / mentor, inside or outside school,
and become their student.
