Director Alice Gu talks about her new documentary The Donut King, an
inspiring story of prosperity and ingenuity that also digs into the heart of
immigration and racism in 1970's America, the perils of fleeing a country
under siege, and the pitfalls of living the so called "American dream."
Alice Gu Director of The Donut King |
I had an opportunity to speak with director Alice Gu for the TwoOhSix Podcast
just before the end of the year. We talked about her experiences as a first
time director, adapting to virtual film festivals, and how people like
cinematographer Harris Savides and NBA star Kobe Bryant have influenced her
life and career. She's definitely got that "Mamba Mentality" and I can see an
All Star filmmaking career in her future. Oh, and of course we also talked
about making the documentary, eating donuts on set, and learning life lessons
while making movies. It was quite the conversation, I hope you enjoy listening
to it.
