Film Screening: Denny Tedesco's Documentary, "Immediate Family"

Join the Film Studies Program and Osher for a film screening and Q&A with Denny Tedesco, award-wining director . Tedesco will screen his recent award-winning documentary Immediate Family (2022). This film features an in-depth look at the musicians who played on studio sessions and in concert with Carole King, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, and Linda Ronstadt. In the film, director Tedesco captures the impact that Danny Kortchmar, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and Waddy Wachtel had on the singers and songwriters they supported in recording sessions.

"This film is a window into the lives of my musical brothers, whose gold standard is to make sure that every song they play on comes out even better than the songwriter imagined. Now they're doing that for their own songs, and this film tells their story beautifully." - Carole King
