What an unforgettable evening! The red carpet and screening of Chrysalis were absolutely breathtaking hosted by the Crescent Theater of Beverly Hills . The film dives deep into the extraordinary true story , tracing his childhood journey through war-torn Vietnam and the transformative experiences that shaped the visionary artist he is today.
