Biography
Umin Boya directed Kano (2014), a historical baseball film that established him as a major Taiwanese filmmaker. He also starred in Wei Te-sheng's Seediq Bale (2011), cementing his dual presence as both writer-director and actor. Born March 1, 1978, in Taiwan, Boya is of mixed heritage—half Taiwanese aboriginal on his father's side. As a screenwriter and actor, he works across narrative film and performance, grounding his projects in historical storytelling and cultural specificity. His Pisces placement (born March 1) and life-path 11 reflect the intuitive, visionary qualities required to balance directorial control with collaborative performance. Taiwan's prestige-film renaissance in the 2010s provided the infrastructure for his transition from supporting roles to directing projects of national scope.
