FAQ
What is Stone Soup Production Company? Founded in 2013 in Taipei, Stone Soup is a full-service film, documentary, and commercial production company built on collaboration, creativity, and resourcefulness. Our name comes from the fable “Stone Soup,” symbolizing the power of people coming together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
What types of projects do you produce? We produce a wide range of content - from feature films and documentaries to commercials, branded content, and corporate videos. Our work spans cinematic storytelling, global brand campaigns, and creative collaborations with international partners.
Do you work with international clients or co-productions? Yes — international collaboration is at the heart of what we do. As a Canadian-Taiwanese company, we specialize in co-productions and assisting overseas producers looking to film in Taiwan or across Asia.
Why film in Taiwan? Taiwan offers world-class crews, diverse locations, advanced production infrastructure, and generous government incentives. It’s an ideal, cost-effective destination for everything from commercials to international features.
What production services do you provide? We handle everything from concept development and budgeting to casting, location scouting, filming, and post-production. We also provide bilingual crew support, fixers, translators, equipment rentals, and transportation logistics.
Can Stone Soup help with government incentives or TAICCA funding? Absolutely. We’re experienced with TAICCA’s co-production and investment programs and can help guide international partners through Taiwan’s point-based funding system and eligibility requirements.
Do you only shoot in Taiwan? While Taiwan is our base, we’ve produced projects around the world — including Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, Philippines, Canada, and the United States. Our global network allows us to work seamlessly across borders.
What are some of your recent projects? Our portfolio includes *The YouTube Effect* (Alex Winter/Trooper Production), *Somebody Feed Phil* (Netflix), and original titles like *Memento Mori*, *Extranjera*, and *Sun Moon (Sony). We also create award-winning commercial and branded content for major Asian and global brands.
How large is your team? We operate as a flexible collective — drawing from a network of experienced producers, directors, cinematographers, and specialists across Taiwan and beyond. This allows us to scale efficiently depending on the project’s needs. The smallest crew we'll send on a project is 3, the largest we've crewed is 60.
How does Stone Soup approach storytelling? We believe in storytelling with purpose — combining stunning visuals, emotional truth, and technical precision. Whether it’s a 30-second spot or a feature film, we craft every frame with intention and care.
