Tuning René Marie
There are very few GRAMMY-nominated artists who start a music career in their mid-40s. And then there’s René Marie - a twice-nominated jazz vocalist with eleven albums under her belt. Told through a series of vignettes animated over 16mm plates, TUNING RENÉ MARIE is a short mixed media documentary about René's extraordinary and often difficult path in life up to that point, and the saving grace of music at every turn.
