Congrats to 'Tyrus Wong,' Indiewire's Project of the Week!
Congratulations to "Tyrus Wong: Brushstrokes in Hollywood" director Pamela Tom. The filmmaker will receive a digital distribution consultation from SnagFilms and the film is now officially a candidate for Project of the Month. That winner will be awarded with a consultation from the Tribeca Film Institute.
Here's what the project's about:
"Tyrus Wong: Brushstrokes in Hollywood" is a documentary feature that examines the life and work of pioneering Chinese-American artist Tyrus Wong. The film tells the story of how a young boy from Southern China overcame a life of poverty and racial discrimination to become a celebrated illustrator, painter, lithographer, kite maker, Hollywood sketch artist, and Disney Legend. "Brushstrokes in Hollywood" unveils the unique blend of influences that shaped Tyrus Wong and his art – from his passion for the bold art of the Sung dynasty to his work as a depression-era muralist, California watercolor painter and Hollywood set illustrator.

This is a man like no other! At 102 years of age, he is out flying his hand-made kites and laughing with the gusto of a child. From fine animation to fine art paintings, from studio storyboard artist to greeting card designer, to muralist and much more, Tyrus is a guy everyone should meet; and with this film, we'll all get a chance to share in the unparalleled wonder who is Tyrus Wong!

A most worthy film, and a most worthy artist.
