The Noodle Man

Running time: 7 mins

Chinatown in New York City is like a traditional village set in the midst of Manhattan. A tightly packed neighborhood of torturously winding and overcrowded streets. Tung Tak Chiu?s days are spent at The Hong Hop Noodle Company right in the ?village?.

He is the man for all jobs in this busy factory. A delightfully humorous individual, with an animated face and with movements that could belong to a dancer.

This short portrait film shows a typical day in the life of the ?Noodle Man?, walking the streets, shopping, working at the many tasks to create traditional hand made noodles. Then after work a game of checkers, shopping for food and home for a lonely meal.

An ordinary day as experienced by many hard working residents of Chinatown, but this charming man brings an insight into a ?day in the life? that few visitors will see.
