Taiwanese film director and screenwriter
Cheng Wei-hao (Chinese: 程偉豪; pinyin: Chéng Wěiháo; born 16 May 1984) is a Taiwanese film director and screenwriter.[1]
Career
Born in Kaohsiung, Cheng enrolled at Fu Jen Catholic University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Advertising and Public Relations.[2] Following graduation, Cheng attended National Taiwan University of Arts, where he obtained a master's degree in film studies.[3] Cheng's interest in filmmaking began in his junior high school period. In 2008, he won a Beijing Film Academy Outstanding Asian Student Film award and an award for Best New Director at the South Taiwan Film Festival for the short film, You Are Not Alone (2008).[4][5] Then, he directed the crime thriller Real Sniper (2009), followed by the mockumentary, The Death of a Security Guard (2015), which won the Best Short Film at the 52nd Golden Horse Awards.[6] Aside from directing shorts, Cheng also had work experience in the visual design sector.[7]
In 2015, Cheng made his feature film debut with The Tag-Along, a horror film based on an urban legend about a mysterious young girl in red following a group of hikers; the young girl is believed to be a mountain ghost who curses people. The Tag-Along played at several festivals and received four nominations at the 53rd Golden Horse Awards. The film was a box office success, with earning NT$85 million to become the highest grossing Taiwanese horror film to date.[8] In 2017, Cheng's second feature film was released, a suspense film about a series of mysteries revolving around a nine-year-old car accident, titled Who Killed Cock Robin.[9]
