His short films have been nominated for two consecutive years at the Taipei Film Festival Taipei Film Awards.

Leste Chen’s works are characterized by mood, fluid camera movement, stylized production design, compelling use of music, nuanced performances from young actors, and themes of young love exposed against cruel circumstances.
