I’ve Got The Blues
Synopsis
Director Angie Chen offers a lively documentary
about the artist Yank Wong, a complex man who
resists definition. Wong is painter, art director, set
designer, writer, musician, and photographer. He is a
true renaissance man who expresses his creativity in
multiple forms. More than a portrait of an artist and
the creative life, the film is also a high-octane catand – mouse game between filmmaker and subject:
one tries to capture, the other evades.
