ANNOUNCE/CONTEST: BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING

BEAUTY IS EMBARASSING, a film about Wayne White
One week engagement at The Bloor, starting Fri Sept 28.
You Can Win Tickets! Read on!
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIv4PHJqCnM


For over 30 years, acclaimed visual artist Wayne White has made an indelible mark on the creative world. A designer, painter, puppeteer, sculptor, and musician, Wayne White has contributed mightily to the pop culture lexicon. Best known as a designer, puppeteer, and voice-over actor on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, White is also an accomplished visual artist and directed iconic music videos including Peter Gabriel’s “Big Time” and The Smashing Pumpkins “Tonight, Tonight.” (Fun fact: He’s also the husband of acclaimed alt-cartoonist Mimi Pond!)
 
Now there is a wonderfully creative and irreverent documentary, Beauty is Embarrassing, which chronicles his unique and occasionally troubled life. Featuring the best of 300+ hours of footage shot over 2 years by directory Neil Berkley, and tons of behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Pee Wee’s Playhouse shot by White, this is a rich and unique film which drew a lot of attention during this year’s screening at Hot Docs.
 
The film begins a one-week run at The Bloor, starting Friday September 28th, and we think you’ll probably dig it.
 
If you want a shot at winning one of two sets of tickets to the show, read on!
