Douglas Davis, Imported From Brooklyn | B Free Awards 2020: People's Choice

Imported From Brooklyn is a story about finding the path to possible when you have more ambition than resources.
The film celebrates world-renowned typographics master and distinguished professor Antonio Di Spigna's 50-year career working and teaching and graphic design.
This origin story chronicles Tony’s humble beginnings as an Italian immigrant to Brooklyn in the sixties, follows his early years at New York City College of Technology, on to Pratt Institute, and ends with his lively career as a partner at the prestigious Lubalin Studio in Manhattan in the 1960s-70s.
More than half a century later, City Tech’s B.F.A. in Communication Design still offers a private school education at public school prices. Whether Tony’s story in the 60s or the school’s current Asian, Middle Eastern, South American, Eastern European or Caribbean American students today, Imported From Brooklyn tells an important story about access to education, perseverance, and the grit needed to achieve one's dreams.
