Role in the Community

The community record preserves Anna Lee’s role behind the camera of the Taiwanese American film Lunchbox: director Anne Hu’s release interview describes hiring her as the production’s Taiwanese food stylist even though the production could not pay her normal TV-show rate — “she loved that we were telling this Taiwanese American story, showing foods from her country.” She is credited with the film’s culinary authenticity: she flagged that the planned hand-pulled noodles were “not very Taiwanese” and proposed the household-realistic hand-cut noodles instead, forcing a script rewrite in the week of shooting, and she prepared the turnip-cake (菜頭粿) scene.
