The Donut King (dir. Alice Gu) x VAFF 2020.

Gu’s inspiring film sheds light on the doughnut craze through the personal history of a charming 78-year-old man’s improbable life story. By its use of archival footage, news clips, animated sequences, and family interviews, The Donut King weaves a compelling tale of highs and lows through a very contemporary storytelling context with reverence for the classic American dream.
