Role in the Community

Taiwan-born screenwriter and producer; the community record frames him as part of the Taiwanese American arts/culture generation bridging Taiwan film and the US.

  • Educated at UCLA (B.A. English; M.F.A. Film and TV — Screenwriting); taught screenwriting in Chicago and Los Angeles (per Behind the Scenes with Producer Weiko Lin of 100 DAYS, 2014-05-09), where he describes his work as answering his mother’s wish that he “do something for Taiwan for the movies.”
  • Wrote the original play adapted into the feature film 100 DAYS — his first major feature production — directed by Henry Chan; released in Taiwan November 2013, then screened at US festivals including the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (2014). Released simultaneously with a manga comic book and CD soundtrack.
  • Featured during Taiwanese American Heritage Week 2014: TaiwaneseAmerican.org raffled two autographed sets of 100 DAYS tied to a tribute-to-your-mother comment campaign, connecting his film directly to the heritage-week community program (taiwaneseamerican-org).
  • Recorded in the TAH Foundation Who’s Who as #239 (01).
  • Corpus re-scan 2026-09-26 (slice 09251023-9): fresh grep (林偉克 / Weiko Lin) hit set unchanged (#239, producer-weiko-lin, index) — all already absorbed/wikilinked; nothing new to absorb. SKIP.
  • Corpus re-scan 2026-09-25 (slice 09240800-21): fresh grep (林偉克 / Weiko Lin) hit set unchanged (#239, producer-weiko-lin, index); everything already absorbed and wikilinked; no new facts; HOLD above stands. SKIP.
  • Corpus re-scan 2026-09-23 (deepen-x slice 09221400-4): fresh grep (林偉克 / Weiko Lin) returned exactly the works already linked above (#239, producer-weiko-lin); no additional corpus mentions, HOLD below stands.
  • HOLD: conflict in teaching base — TAH Who’s Who lists professorships at UC Riverside and Northwestern Univ., while his own 2014 interview says he “spent most of his time teaching screen-writing in Chicago and Los Angeles”; not merged pending clarification.
