Originally from Beijing, UCSB student Zizheng Liu quickly connected with Tingsheng Wang, a fisherman also originally from China who owned and operated the Dumpling King restaurant in Isla Vista, until recently. Liu made this short, meditative documentary about Wang, following him from the Santa Barbara Harbor to his humble kitchen, wrapping up the fish that he caught each day. The film was screened during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and we present it for your enjoyment on Indepedent.com.
