Your Bros., is an informal filmmaking group formed by three amateurs in Taiwan. Each member comes from a different field of art: video artists, architects, art history researchers, theatre critics. We believe that immaturity is exactly our own peculiarity. We focus on field research during the process of filmmaking, creative workshops, unforeseen circumstances, flexible scripts that can be changed in different situations. Filmmaking as a method, re-interpreting reality, endowing it with an aesthetic form, and transforming it into a medium of thinking.

n Qu c Phi, a Vietnamese undocumented (runaway) foreign worker, got nine shots by the police in rural country. Police said they couldn’t stop him by pepper water or truncheon. There was no single footage to reproduce the mysterious incidence aside from some crime site photos taken by the media. While researching on the case, we found a record from the public hearing dictated by the police department. We made this video based on the record. n Qu c Phi, the film remained two police officers fighting by themselves.

Our workshop was grew from massive foreign workers’ experience that lead to the development of character setting, script constructing and art designing. We built a hut out of abandoned materials from a transforming factory. This hut took every running workers in along with their stories. They ran away with fabricated identity into a fabricated hut, yet the dialogs from the film were their true names and stories. However, there was too much suffering in such a short time, we could only focused on sad stories at the beginning and ending up with just a short glimpse.
