ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
Science Productions and Build A Better World Foundation are proud
to announce the premiere of the highly anticipated documentary
special, "Hollywood's
Humble Maestro: The Russell Garcia Story," narrated by the
acclaimed actor Rainn Wilson, best
known for his role as Dwight in "The Office." Wilson will also MC
the premiere on August 3rd. This
captivating film sheds light on the untold Hollywood story of the late legendary
composer, arranger, and conductor, Russell
Garcia.
The world premiere will take place on Saturday, August 3rd, at the prestigious
Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles,
California. Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to
walk the red carpet and be among the first to witness the
remarkable life and career of Russell
Garcia, whose contributions to the music industry have left
an indelible mark.
Kristy Corwin, the
visionary behind this documentary, serves as the creator and
executive producer, along with Sr. producer Elliott Haimoff. Corwin is dedicated to bringing
to life the enthralling and often overlooked story of Russell Garcia, a world-renowned composer and
arranger who worked with some of Hollywood's biggest icons, including
Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and Charlie Chaplin. Despite his monumental
contributions, Garcia often worked as a "ghost composer/arranger,"
rarely receiving the credit he deserved.
Kristy Corwin, who is also the
President and Executive Director of the Build A Better World
Foundation and CEO of Build A Better World Productions, continues
the legacy of her grandparents, Russell and
Gina Garcia. These organizations were founded to perpetuate
the legacy of music, empower youth, and support humanitarian
efforts worldwide. The documentary is a testament to the Garcias'
six-decade-long dedication to these noble causes.
In addition to her work on the documentary, Kristy Corwin has produced "The Unquenchable
Flame," a musical created by Gina and
Russell Garcia. This production further highlights the
Garcias' significant contributions to the arts and their unwavering
commitment to making the world a better place through music and
humanitarian efforts.
Russell Garcia's legacy also
includes his influential educational work, notably "The
Professional Arranger & Composer Books 1 & 2," endorsed
by music legends Henry Mancini,
John Williams, and Quincy Jones. Both Williams and Jones were
students of Russell Garcia, further
cementing his impact on the music industry.
"Hollywood's Humble Maestro:
The Russell Garcia Story" is not just a documentary; it is
a celebration of an unsung hero whose music has touched the lives
of many. The film delves deep into the life of Russell Garcia, revealing his genius, his
humility, and his extraordinary talent that made him one of the
most sought-after music composers, arrangers, and conductors of his
time.
