FESTIVAL PREMIERE
Tiger
Director: Loren Waters
Dana Tiger was just five years old when her father, legendary Muscogee Creek artist Jerome Tiger, passed away. She turned to his art as a way to know him, the richness of her culture, and the bounty of her family’s artistic tradition.
In memory of Jerome’s art and to support their family, Dana’s mother and uncle started a booming t-shirt printing business in the 1980s. Then, tragedy struck their family once more. Dana’s younger brother, Chris Tiger, was relentlessly murdered and their business was brought to a halt.
Dana and her family have been working for nearly 30 years to revitalize the iconic Tiger t-shirt company, through immense grief and suffering from Parkinson’s. Now, everybody wants their hands on a Tiger T-shirt.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT
Dana Tiger is one of the happiest people you will ever meet. Our souls vibrantly crossed paths a few years ago, but it also could have been lifetimes ago. I saw myself in her paintings and was drawn to her caring energy. This film beautifully unfolded like how light travels. Quickly, intentionally, brightly, and shockingly. Dana’s story leaves you hanging on to every word. She takes you through deep loss and tragedy, but also great joy of her family’s history. There is nobody like the Tiger family and what they have done for the art world. It’s an immense honor for me to bring this story to life.
