Teague: Design & Beauty is a feature documentary exploring the life and work of pioneering American industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague.
From the Kodak Brownie and Bantam Special cameras to Texaco’s Art Deco gas stations, Steuben glassware, and the 1939 New York World’s Fair pavilions, Teague helped define the look of modern America—and the profession of industrial design itself.
Through illustrations, archival imagery, animation, and interviews, filmmaker Jason A. Morris traces Teague’s rise from humble beginnings to industry leader, uncovering the personal transformations and stories behind his most iconic designs. A mysterious drawing serves as a thread through the pivotal moments of his life.
