Screened at Taiwan Cinefest 2012. Popular Taiwanese star Blue Lan follows up domestic box office smash “Night Market Hero” with “The Spin Kid”, a fusion of modern and traditional culture with the actor as a dance music DJ and temple performer caught up in drug related troubles. Lan also produced the film, which marks the debut of writer director Joe Lee and was chosen as the opening film of the 2011 Kaohsiung Film Festival as well as playing at Taiwan Cinefest 2012 in London. Blue Lan plays A-Hao, a young man who has grown up with his temple caretaker grandfather after his mother died and his policeman father (Tai Bao, “Seven Days in Heaven”) proved unable and unwilling to care for him. Although he spends most of his time taking part in religious performances at the temple, A-Hao’s dream is to become a DJ, spinning records as a means of connecting with his memories of his mother.
