Before he was a celebrated painter and sculptor, Sir Daniel Winn was a child of war. His latest film, Chrysalis, transforms that past into visual allegory—a cinematic reflection on memory, identity, and the enduring power of art to heal. Shot on location in Vietnam, the film captures not only the landscape of a nation in transition, but the emotional terrain of a boy finding his place within it. A journey from a painful war-torn childhood to artistic rebirth, Chrysalis renders Sir Daniel Winn’s life of survival as a cinematic act of transformation.
