Revisiting the artistic revolution taking place in a small town in North Carolina
We noticed back in March that visionary artist and entrepreneur, Tyler 'Ty Bru' Brueilly was in the midst of carrying the entire small town on his back in attempts to usher the community into a more contemporary era of art and entertainment, in particular with his Mightier Than The Sword Awards at Sunset Film Festival, which is the city's very first Film Festival of any February and fresh off his second annual aforementioned film festival, we were able to speak with him at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood following his premiere of 'Shucks' and he didn't show any hesitation with the love and passion he has for, Asheboro, North Carolina.
'I was born there, and I've spent over thirty years there and I've always been frustrated with the lack of options in our scene since a kid and it's not really had any breakthrough in that matter. I'm not saying it needs to be Hollywood by any means, but it's in desperate need to have constant and consistent options for art and entertainment lovers.' Brueilly states.
Brueilly has really been focusing on using the 20 year milestone of founding Mightier Than The Sword Records as a catalyst to provide a four day festival in May at the historic Sunset Theatre as well as monthly events and meetings within likeminded individuals in the area in hopes to cultivate this 'artistic revolution' he has been spearheading.
'In 2025, we've been holding monthly 'First Friday Fashion & Photography' and 'Third Thursday Thinktanks' and in May, we added 'Mighty Mondays' each focusing on our community by aligning the many facets of art and entertainment I have extensive experiences in, with the deep hope that it inspires others to stay right here in Asheboro and fight for places, spaces and stages to showcase their creations, that's a bar right there though.'
