Career
editHsieh directed her first short film in 2013 titled Doppelganger. In 2014, she directed a short film, The Bride, when still a graduate student at National Taiwan University of Arts. For the film, Hsieh collaborated with Takashige Ichise, director of the Ring, to explore the tradition of ghost marriage.[2] She collaborated with Ichise again to develop the film for a feature-length version released in 2015, also called The Bride, starring Wu Kang-ren and Chie Tanaka. Although not as successful as The Tag-Along released the same year, the film gained financial and critical success in Taiwan.[3]
In 2019, Hsieh adapted Joseph Chen's novel Green Door for a six-episode television series, which she also directed. Green Door aired on Public Television Service before Netflix acquired the streaming rights.[4]
