DANNY WU – American: An Odyssey to 1947

There is a great pleasure in finding something you believe very few people have yet discovered. As a member of the Motion Picture Academy, I have access to most of this year's films, and all the documentaries submitted. I try to watch as many as possible and I stumbled upon this film and am very happy to share it with you. The 1930's and 40's is a fascinating period of time and then throw in Orsen Welles, FDR, and some other characters with great stories. The first-time director Danny Wu is a Chinese immigrant to Canada in his mid 20's. His film school was YouTube. Watch our conversation and then view the doc now on the Oscar web portal for members, or on Amazon, YouTube, AppleTV, and Google Play.
