THE MAN BEHIND THE WHITE GUITAR
http://www.themanbehindthewhiteguitar.com
Our film has been around the world now, honored with awards in India and The Hague, along with screenings in Italy, Brazil, Japan, California and more. Thank you to so many people who helped make this project one for others to be inspired by values of honesty, trust and the power of music to unite.
This unique project was a testament to the power of the people. With very little money, artists and other collaborators came together to create a project in honor of one of the greatest guitarists of our lifetime, the humble Master of José Neto, Brazilian Guitarist who has not only played and supported the best, but has been nonstop in creating his music, staying true to his artistic vision.
