Ethel Gabriel - Living Sound / February 15, 2022 by coco corral

So very honored and amped to be supporting this amazing piece of work by our dear friend and amazing artist, Caroline Losneck. I’ll just share her words here, and if you can, check out the kickstarter crowdfunding campaign - I’m contributing work and again, in such venerable company indeed.

I'm excited to announce that today we have launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to help push our film, Living Sound, closer to completion. As you know, Living Sound is a documentary film about trailblazing record producer and executive Ethel Gabriel, an unsung legend in the music recording industry. Gabriel produced more than 5,000 recordings over a phenomenal 40-year career for RCA Records, overseeing a roster of artists as varied as Elvis Presley, Tommy Dorsey, Dolly Parton, Perry Como, Chet Atkins, Roger Whittaker, and Glenn Miller. Despite her prolific career as a record producer and executive–and being awarded 15 Gold Records and a Grammy–she has remained largely unknown within the industry she helped build.

I'm happy to be co-directing the film with Christoph Gelfand and Producer April Tucker. And the film is being made in association with SoundGirls.

I would be so grateful for your support in helping us tell Ethel Gabriel’s story!

You can help today by contributing to our film fundraiser and/or sharing our campaign right here! It's easy & any amount helps fund our independent film: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ethelgabrieldoc/livingsound

Thank you from me and the entire film team,

Caroline and Christoph Co-Directors

April Tucker, Producer, Researcher

Karrie Keyes, SoundGirls

**We are also honored that our film is part of the Women Make Movies Production Assistance + fiscal sponsorship Program.

work update june 2021 / June 10, 2021 by coco corral

just finished and delivered these two portraits for a client - such an honor to work with he and his wife. he chose two amazing vintage frames from our collection that i’ve been holding on to for a few years now. as he was describing his hopes for this project i knew the frames would be perfect for the job, and could not be more happy that they went to such an appreciative home.

Rumi and Lorca, beloved furry family members, immortalized on black velvet. and to share some of the patron’s words;

…we are absolutely stunned and overjoyed at the creative, sensitive, beautiful, and accurate renditions of our furry companions.
the time, the care, the focus, the psychological depth! the emotional nuance! i mean, (we) could not be more ecstatic at how beautifully you realized this somewhat eccentric vision. you are a profoundly gifted artist.
WE FRICKIN LOVE IT SO MUCH. thank you so much for bringing this into our lives - julio
