I organized an AMA/Q&A with Shih-Ching Tsou, director/writer/producer of Left-Handed Girl, Taiwan's submission to the upcoming Academy Awards. It premiered to huge critical acclaim at Cannes, then played most of the big fall festivals (TIFF, etc), had a limited theatrical release last month, and is out now out on Netflix.
Shih-Ching is also a longtime collaborator of Sean Baker, she has produced many of his films including The Florida Project, Red Rocket, Tangerine, and Starlet, with the two former being with A24. She also co-directed/co-write Take Out with Sean.
It's live here now in /r/movies:

She will be back at 3 PM ET tomorrow (Monday 12/8) to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!
Left-Handed Girl just received a Critics Choice nomination for Best International Film and has a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and 77 on Metacritic.
A single mother and her two daughters arrive in Taipei to open a small restaurant in the heart of a night market in the Taiwanese capital. Each of them must find a way to adapt.
