By day, Andrew Shea is an associate professor in the department of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas.

He also practices what he preaches as the director of the new feature film "Portrait of Wally."

The documentary traces a long-running conflict over a painting that was looted by the Nazi's in 1939, and a landmark legal battle over restitution to the heirs of the portrait's original owner.

"Portrait of Wally" is now showing in Austin at Violet Crown Cinema.
