Michele Farinola is no stranger to producing music documentaries: Her credits include “Foo Fighters: Back And Forth,” “George Harrison: Living In The Material World,” and most recently, “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice,” which is up for best music film at the Grammy Awards Sunday night.
Farinola says she’s drawn to telling stories of legendary performers whose stories connect to today and to the audience’s own experiences. With Ronstadt, she felt this story of a woman who stayed true to herself as she made a name for herself in the ’60s was a story that could resonate with audiences. Together with producing partner James Keach, and directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, Farinola made the documentary in conjunction with CNN Films.

Making Movies, Everybody Wants to Rule the World
In 1985, Tears For Fears released a powerful song that could be interpreted as a song about a love gone bad, but a closer listen reveals a meditation on those who are desperate for power and control.
Songs of Gratitude draws millions
Festival Napa Valleyâs online production, âSongs of Gratitude,â drew an audience of 3 million from around the world on Dec. 5.
The concert, filmed at locations throughout Napa Valley, celebrated resilience âin a year like no otherâ and the power of music âto unite and to heal.â
It included performances by pianist Audrey Vardanega, the Friction String Quartet, vocalists Kelley OâConnor and Nicholas Phan, traditional Mexican roots folk ensemble Los Cenzontles, Jookinâ dancer Ron âPrime Tymeâ Myles, cellist Starla Breshears, and chanteuse and harpist Lucinda Belle, along with a remote vocal ensemble of Napa County high school choristers.
