A short monologue about dumplings, dreams, and other things, featured in Fantoche, Supernova (2nd place), Ars Independent, NY Indie Shorts and other festivals. By the way, during lockdown, the audience of the Russian Wheel of Fortune was indeed replaced with yellow ballons that had various smiley faces printed on them in black. Various other elements are similarly real.
“This humorous and melancholy production showcases sophisticated CGI techniques while providing a unique visual language of vintage film. The whimsical dumpling characters and the sleep talks quickly transport the viewer into a profound world about suspended identity.” —Frank Wang Yefen
