The Donn Of Tiki

Synopsis

FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE!

The life of Donn Beach has been re-written, embellished, and at times flat-out fabricated. He was an American maverick, constantly creating his own opportunities while reinventing himself, and embellishing the details of his extraordinary life.

This documentary takes on the task of separating fact from exaggeration to finally tell Donn’s story, and how he inadvertently created the Tiki subculture in 1930s Hollywood. Mixing fun retro animation with newly found tapes of Donn’s last interview, the film explores universal truths behind Donn’s tall tales.
