Films We Like has acquired Canadian rights to TINY TIM: KING FOR A DAY, a new biographical documentary by Johan von Sydow about musician Tiny Tim, narrated by Weird Al Yankovic. With exclusive access to Tiny Tim’s intense diaries, the playful and powerful animations and the interviews with his family and friends, makes this film not only a captivating portrait of one of the oddest stars the world has ever seen, but also a psychological drama, examining the borderline between insanity and geniality.
An outcast from a young age, Herbert Khary’s rise to stardom as Tiny Tim is the ultimate fairytale. A musician who is not only well known for hits such as Tip Toe Through The Tulips but for his trail blazing personae that paved the way for other rock stars such as David Bowie, Prince, Iggy Pop and Boy George. His wedding on the Carson Show was watched by over 45 million Americans and his queer personality have been celebrated by the likes of Bob Dylan, Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga. Considered a freak by many of his peers, Tiny Tim left no one unaffected.
