Award winning filmmaker Tyrone Evans Clark and his humble beginnings

Tyrone Evans Clark is a hard worker and an entertainer at heart. He is working in countless different areas of the entertainment industry from television and filmmaking to interactive media. He was born in 1986 in Chicago, Illinois. Growing up Clark lived with his parents and siblings, though it wasn’t particularly easy, since Clark’s father became addicted to drugs and also began to abuse his wife & children.

One day the family home caught fire, and tragically Clark’s brother died. The family found themselves homeless and living in a shelter – this would be Tyrone Evans Clark’s first experience with homelessness. Eventually Clark, his mother, and his siblings would leave his father. However, in high school Clark would leave his family home over disagreements & became homeless again.

With the help of his teacher, Mrs. Collins & her husband, Clark would apply for college scholarships and grants and ended up with many acceptances.
