Invest in《Tearing Texts》
Empowering Change
Co-creating the Future
《Tearing Texts》is more than just a movie — it is a powerful social dialogue, an artistic act of speaking up for women, and an investment opportunity with strong international potential.
Selected by the prestigious Golden Horse Film Project Promotion,《Tearing Texts》has received industry recognition for its bold subject matter and global perspective — a clear signal of both its market appeal and cultural impact.
We warmly invite you to join us as a partner in bringing this vital story to the big screen — to reach broader audiences, ignite meaningful conversations, and let its voice resonate on the world stage.
《Tearing Texts》is an ambitious cinematic project that explores gender and social dynamics through the struggles, resilience, and awakening of three women across different eras and cultural contexts.
Inspired by the lives and legacies of literary icon Eileen Chang (Zhang Ailing), the late Taiwanese author Lin Yi-han (as the fictional Ling Yu-han), and real-life child marriage cases from Southeast Asia, the film powerfully reveals the shared challenges and resistance faced by women across different societies.
Through its distinctive narrative and socially conscious themes,《Tearing Texts》aspires to become a landmark film — one with the cultural and emotional resonance of Korea’s 《Parasite》 and 《Silenced》, or Hong Kong’s 《The Last Dance》 and 《A Simple Life》.
This is more than just a film — it is a social experiment in transformation. We sincerely invite you to be part of this historic journey and help bring this extraordinary work of art to the world.
The mission of 《Tearing Texts》is to

Celebrate Female Resilience
centered on the awakening and growth of women, the film highlights their strength, perseverance, and courage.
Elevate Cinematic Standards
by drawing from internationally proven storytelling models, the film aspires to create a work that resonates across borders, regions, and cultures, while helping Malaysian cinema take a bold step onto the global stage.
Private Placement Vision
We aim to build a community of supporters who believe in the power of cinema to inspire social change.
