Cape No. 7 is the little movie that could.
It was made by an unknown director, Wei Te-sheng, who had one previously unreleased feature to his credit. He took out loans and mortgaged his house and it has paid off in a monster hit.
The movie was made on a scraped-together budget of NT$50 million (S$2.3 million), but it has broken box-office records in its native Taiwan with takings of over NT$450 million since its release on Aug 22 this year.
