Naman Ramachandran Taiwan is preparing to unleash its latest entertainment offerings at Hong Kong FilMart. The Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) is spearheading the effort with four productions taking center stage at the Taiwan Spotlight Showcase on March 18.

The romantic film “Penguin Girl” leads the charge with stars Charlize Lamb and Hua Chen making special appearances. Following closely is “That Burning House,” a socially conscious drama tackling child protection and juvenile crime issues from the creative minds behind “Tears on Fire,” with Fandy Fan and Tseng Jing Hua scheduled to attend.

Action enthusiasts can look forward to “96 Minutes,” a high-octane thriller set aboard a bullet train between Taipei and Kaohsiung featuring a deadly bomb plot.

Cast members Lee-Zen Lee, Yi-Ti Yao and Jacob Wang will be on hand to discuss the production. Rounding out the showcase is black comedy series “A Controversial Entertainer,” which chronicles the transformation of five men into top male hosts and brings an impressive entourage including actress Nana Lee and producer-actor Chen I among others.
