Mainstream  Source  is  working  in  partnership  with  the  non-­‐profit  Foundation  For  Arts  and  Music  Preservation,  Inc.,  filming  a  documentary  series,  which  preserves  and  chronicles  the  lives  and  careers  of  living  legends  in  their  own  words.    We  work  with  the  most  compelling  legendary  artists  within  each  rung  of  the  ladder  of  success,  analyzing  each  individual’s  contribution  to  the  Arts,  how  it  has  grown  and  become  unique  from  impetus  to  interpretation.  Most  importantly,  we  allow  the  artist  to  tell  the  story  of  the  impact  that  their  individual  influence  has  had  on  others  and  on  the  art  form  itself.    Capturing  the  magic,  and  indeed,  the  essence  of  the  individual  and  their  experience  and  wisdom  is  critical  to  passing  on  their  lessons  in  order  to  inspire  new  generations  of  artists.    Many  of  our  legends  may  have  been  forgotten  or  perhaps  would  become  a  footnote  of  history,  if  not  for  the  opportunity  to  chronicle  their  life  story.  

Our  hope  is  to  foster  a  greater  understanding  of  the  art  form  itself,  while  preserving  each  individual’s  contribution  to  the  greater  good,  thereby  insuring  a  lasting  impact  that  will  not  be  quickly  forgotten.
