Join us in the heart of Palm Springs at a special presentation at Eight4Nine Restaurant and a sneak peek at Michele Zousmer documentary close to her heart, Sounds of the Sidewalk, A Journey of Goodbye. Michele has won many prestigious awards over the years.

We will celebrate the Life of Gray Frederickson and honor remarkable individuals who he knew personally over the years. Gray is an Oscar and Emmy Award winning producer.

He produced all three Godfather movies, and with his partner Francis Ford Coppola, he produced Apocalypse Now, The Outsiders, and many more.

Three of his films are listed in the top movies of all time.  He established one of the top Film Schools in America, the Oklahoma Film Institute, and was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. He was a great storyteller, and he loved a great story, especially about these individuals. Gray produced the Documentary, Children of the Coffee (Minute 14.10) that featured Michele and her incredible photographs that created a Small Revolution in Latin America. (Story by Irene Michaels.}

PHOTOGRAPHS THAT CHANGED A NATION...AND THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

Greeting,

I am a humanitarian and fine art photographer. I like to think of myself as a visual advocate. 

My camera gives voice to people and marginalized communities around the world. I search for quiet moments of life, love and loss, capturing elusive moments of grace and beauty that exist in the most challenging times.

These emotional connections are not seen by many. My work celebrates each individual’s strength and beauty, as well as their vulnerability and spirit, going beyond how one presents oneself to the world.

Michele
