Beauty Is Embarrassing - The Wayne White Story

For more than 30 years, Wayne White has made an indelible mark on the creative world. As a designer, painter, puppeteer, sculptor and musician, White created images and ideas that are an integral - yet sometimes subconscious - part of the pop-culture lexicon.

Part biography, part live performance, Beauty Is Embarrassing tells the irreverent and inspiring story of this one-of-a-kind visual artist and raconteur. The film traces White's career from his stint as an underground cartoonist in New York's East Village to his big break as a designer, puppeteer and voice-over actor on Pee-wee's Playhouse (for which he won three Emmys), as well as his work animating music videos for The Smashing Pumpkins ("Tonight, Tonight") and Peter Gabriel ("Big Time").

At its core, Beauty Is Embarrassing shows what it takes for one uniquely talented, profanely hilarious and utterly uncompromising artist to make it in America.
