Beauty Is Embarrassing is a whimsical and irreverent documentary about the artist/puppeteer/film-maker Wayne White, who worked on the television show PeeWee's Playhouse and shot music videos for Peter Gabriel and Smashing Pumpkins. This touching, lovely and magical film features interviews with Matt Groening, banjo picking, thrift store paintings, and gigantic puppet heads. It's an inspiring look into the creative process. There was a very funny Q&A with the director and Wayne White after the screening at the Cleveland International Film Festival. Here's a trailer:
And here's a link to his website which has some of his slightly profane 'word paintings':
