"We are very grateful for everyone's concern, and many of our tribal brothers and sisters are praying for her," Reno said.

Reno also spoke about his own role in the animated short, voicing three distinct characters. He admitted that voicing the villainous Monkey Demon King, who was supposed to bite Wen Lan's character, was challenging. "When I heard Wen Lan's voice during recording, I was a bit hesitant to bite her," he confessed. The director accommodated by temporarily removing Wen Lan's voice track, allowing him to complete the scene.

He further revealed a personal connection, noting that Wen Lan's indigenous name relates to monkeys, making his role as the Monkey Demon King a playful "Monkey Queen" dynamic. Reno expressed his deep emotion in using the indigenous Atayal language for storytelling through animation, hoping to share their culture and Taiwan with a wider audience.

Wen Lan, who voiced the character "Lawa," sent a recorded greeting to the event. She described the project as a culmination of long-term effort and encouraged viewers to watch it on television or streaming platforms.

This is a work that many people have spent a long time accumulating. I really cannot spoil it, and I hope everyone has the opportunity to go to the cinema or turn on the TV to watch it well.
