Wu Nien-Jen

Anybody know what Nien-Jen Wu has been up to in the last decade? Wiki has "Currently, Nien-Jen Wu runs his own production company "Wu's Productions" now, and actively writes, directs, produces and performs in both commercials and television programs. He is an artist of many versatile talents, being a published novelist/author/writer and a well-respected Taiwanese filmmaker." but nothing shows in imdb and googling Wu's Productions doesn't yield much. After seventy-some screenplays in the '80s and '90s, he quit writing?
