Synopsis

Everyone has his own unique childhood memories, be it a fight with your best friend, or a chasing game with neighbors around the house, or the moment that you just can't remember how much is 9 minus 6. For a group of native young kids from the eastside of Taiwan, it is baseball. The director played an observer's role, and used the camera to record those children's simple and pure memory of the game.

Director Statement

“Whenever a new project starts, it opens a new door for a new learning experience towards the world. “Baseball boys” is no exception. These children let me know that my life attitude should be more simple and direct. I believe this story about the fantastic time before childhood ends is co-created by everyone in this film.” - Shen Ko-Shang

“During the shooting period, I was an adult, and there’s distance between me and these children. But I behaved more and more like a child in the editing period. These kids inspire me to be a child once again for that simple happiness.” - Liao Ching-Yao
