(Central News Agency reporter Hung Su-hsin, Taipei, May 1) Actor Yang Tsung-hua, branching out as a director, has released the short film "Small Room Revolution" to explore themes of home and dreams. This short film recently won the International Competition Children's Jury Award and a Special Award at the 2025 Kaohsiung Film Festival, and has also been nominated for the final list of the 2026 German Munich International Festival of Films for Children and Young People.
The plot of the short film "Small Room Revolution" describes a 10-year-old girl named "Xiao Fang" who longs for a clean and happy home, but her parents are busy with work, and their home is small and messy. At her friend Xiao Qi's birthday party, Xiao Fang sees the other family eating dinner together around a table and decides to give her mother a surprise: to have the whole family eat together at the dining table. However, the "Small Room Revolution" initiated to get the family to eat together unexpectedly ignites a family war on her mother's birthday.
Yang Tsung-hua previously acted in the series "The Prosecutors of the Eight-Span Gate" and PTS Life Story "Xiao Wei Came Back After He Left." This time, he presents his new PTS Student Film Festival short film "Small Room Revolution." He stated via press release that the story's inspiration came entirely from his personal family experiences. When he moved back to his old home in Wugu, he couldn't stand the mess and the lack of a shared dining table at home, which ironically inspired him to write the short film script while taking a bath.
Yang Tsung-hua sentimentally expressed that in modern dual-income families, life is busy, and it's difficult for the whole family to eat together. He hopes that through this short film, he can convey that "every family has its own way of eating; no family has more love than another, and whether there is a tidy dining table or not, every family has its own unique way of expressing love."
