穿梭於異鄉人間的異鄉人
2018年，我開始拍攝我的第一部短片，探討在台菲律賓移工的故事。
過程中，我發現一群台灣的中年男性常駐在專屬於菲律賓人的舞廳，他們用拙劣的英語和舞步試圖吸引菲律賓女子的注意。
他們說：「因為台灣的女性不會跟我們交往。」這些社經地位較弱勢的男子認為自己在台灣交友市場中不受重視，於是將目標轉向來台的移工女性。對他們來說，在這些移工女子面前，好像自己更像個「男人」。
這個現象啟發我重新思考「族群」和「認同」的議題，也促成了這部影片的創作。

A Foreigner Among Foreigners
In 2018, while working on my first short film, a story about Filipino migrant workers in Taiwan, I stumbled upon a captivating scene: a group of middle-aged Taiwanese men who exclusively frequented dance halls for Filipino women. They danced alongside the migrant workers, using broken English and awkward moves in an attempt to attract Filipino women.
“Because Taiwanese women won’t date us,” they explained to me. These men, who came from a more disadvantaged socioeconomic background, felt like losers in Taiwan’s dating scene. They felt overlooked or unwanted by Taiwanese women, so they turned their attention to female migrant workers. In their minds, blue-collar migrant workers were considered a lower social class. Therefore, in front of these women, these men felt more confident, more like “real men.”
This phenomenon intrigued me deeply. It sparked new ideas about “belonging” and “identity,” which ultimately led me to create this film.
