Following the success of his first documentary, Tysen went on to create ‘The Art of Hustle: Homeless Street Artist Documentary’, which follows the lives of three homeless artists as they create art to survive with the odds stacked against them. Thus far, the film has received a multitude of praise and has been recognised at events like the Dumbo Film Festival in New York, the American Documentary Film Festival in Palm Springs, and the Lion International Film Festival in Italy. For this project, Tysen also won Best Director Documentary Short Award at the Marina Del Rey Film Festival in 2019. Alongside his work as an artist and filmmaker, Tysen is committed to supporting and inspiring the next generation of creators. For example, in 2018, he started “Boys Art Mentoring”, an educational programme through which he teaches art to students in local school districts. This initiative has been incredibly popular with students and teachers alike. Members of the faculty have praised his ability to inspire young people to express themselves through art. With a genuine passion for teaching and motivating students, Tysen has been incredibly grateful for the opportunity to inspire children of all ages. However, his commitment to supporting young artists does not stop there. Through the Tysen Knight Scholarship Fund, Tysen dedicates 10% of his earnings to providing high school students with the supplies or funds they need to pursue an education and career in the arts. Any young person who has a passion for art and would like to be considered for this scholarship is invited to submit an application on his website. As a result of his inspirational work, Tysen Knight has been named Best International Artist & Mentor, USA, in the LUX Global Excellence Awards 2023. Considering what he has accomplished thus far, there is no doubt that Tysen looks towards a bright future, and we wish him the best of luck in the years to come.
