Wolfgang Busch was inducted into the Business Hall of Fame for his company Art From The Heart Films since 2015 for eight consecutive years and into the LGBT Music Hall Of Fame. Wolfgang is a two time humanitarian award winning director and producer. Wolfgang lectured artistic empowerment and HIV awareness at universities and community based organizations and activist for the Music and LGBT community in New York City since the mid 1980's. He received more than 30 awards, rewards and certificates and was published in the Ed Karvoski book "Award Winning Men".
Wolfgang became an activist because he saw the need to empower the LGBT artistic community from the
exploitation and discrimination from the industry and from within our own community.
Wolfgang's second LGBT documentary "Flow Affair" is a historic LGBT art film about the New York City, San Francisco and Chicago Flag, Fan, Poi and Floguing dance community.
Wolfgang is preserving the history of the flag dance, which originated in the New York City's leather scene in the late 1970s and peeked in the early 80s at the legendary disco the Saint in the East Village.
Wolfgang Busch is the founder of Art from the Heart Films and its mission is to build an artistic infrastructure to
empower under-served communities using art in education programs.
Wolfgang first documentary "How Do I Look", a sequel in content to Paris is Burning, and "Flow Affair" are both historic LGBT art films released on DVD and digital downloads, highlighting the artistic expressions
of the LGBT voguing and flagging communities from New York City, San Francisco and Chicago.
In addition, Wolfgang's third documentary "A True Lesson In Humanity" is about the Florida Special Needs Color Guard and people with disabilities in the performing arts from the Fort Lauderdale area.
Wolfgang's up-coming release "The Sounds Of New York City" is about the NYC rock live music scene during the 80s and 90s and its evolution. Wolfgang was instrumental in the development of the live music scene and was part of changing the music landscape.
