Shimabukuro discusses his musical influences, starting with traditional Hawaiian music and performers such as Eddie Kamae, whose interpretations of musical genres outside the standard repertoire encouraged Shimabukuro to experiment on his own. He began to compose and play rock, pop, jazz and classical music on the ukulele, an instrument that, outside Hawaii, was mostly viewed as a novelty. 1 The Team: Lulu formed Q Production Inc. in year 2000 – an events and music production company that has reset standards in the industry. She is a firm believer in quality, excellence and never exits without recognizing behind the scenes efforts. An honor roll graduate from University of San Francisco, Lulu began her career as a recording engineer, and continued her professional career as Production Director for three major broadcast networks – NBC Susquehanna KNBR, Clear Channel’s KKSF and Bonneville’s Corporation – KOIT 96.5. Undaunted by any challenges, she is a recognized expert in her field. “ Lulu Bagaman is a self made success. A humble childhood that took her from Hong Kong to Vancouver to San Francisco. Lulu is a story teller in her award winning commercial production work, her showcase events and her documentaries. Her solid work ethic, sensitivity to people from international luminaries to the smallest child is her true north. She sees the multiple layers in the world around her and expresses it elegantly in her work. Lulu’s friends are fiercely loyal, her clients marvel at her magic and people who may never meet her are dazzled by her magic. “ Lulu Bagaman Executive Producer Is an award winning filmmaker, his acclaimed documentary Where the Sun Rises (also known as A Hero’s Journey) featured Xanana Gusmao, the former guerrilla leader who became the first President of an independent East Timor. The film won Amnesty International’s Movies that Mat- ter Award, the Special Jury Prize from the American Film Institute International Film Festival, and a Gold Award for cinematography from the Australian Cinematographers Society. It has been released in cinemas and licensed for television internationally, translated into 8 languages and screened in over 20 countries. Edmond started in production with Viacom, producing programs for MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon, later becoming Supervising Producer for 360 Media in California producing for UNICEF’s Speak Your Mind campaign. Prior to his move into media, he was an investment banker for 8 years with JP Morgan and ABN Amro, specializing in fixed income. He is a graduate of the London School of Economics and Edmond Wong has lived and worked in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore and Hong Director Kong. He is a masterful skier, snow boarder, scuba diver, and accomplished gourmet cook. Edmond is fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, and is functional in Japanese. Is considered one of the most talented cinematographers in Asia. Whatever the circumstances and whatever the genre his aim is always to acquire stunning visuals at the service of the story at hand. Apart from his sharp eye, producers and directors appreciate his unflappable attitude on locations that can often be challenging and highly unpredictable. Brad began his career multitasking: while still at the Brisbane School of Cinematography he started work at Network Ten, Australia. There, he worked on pretty much everything going: com- mercial and studio production, drama, documentaries, wildlife, travel, kids content, sports and outside broadcasts, music videos, news & current affairs, and short films. He also got to spend time in the edit room, and with the lighting department, working both in studios and on location.

  • Elegance CARTIER
    EDITO ART AND CULTURE Cultural Committee Chairman RIALDistinctness or imitation? Understatement or extravagance? Playing Valéry Giscard d’Estaing with one’s appearance or remaining authentic? Elegance is at once movement, style and spirit, and the essence it seeks to express Cultural Committee transcends the trends of the moment. As Hubert de Givenchy once said, Franco Cologni “Jeanne Toussaint was not fashionable, she was elegant.” Arielle Dombasle Elegance clearly has an aesthetic quality but also a moral and intellectual one. However, it can become dangerous when it defies Hugues Gall conventions. Too much distinctiveness arouses anger. Daniela Giussani They say it is universal and timeless yet is it not a touch cultural Guillaume Pictet and changeable? Time blurs certain references, certain frontiers. Franceline Prat Perceptions shif, appreciation changes. A garment, a type of behavior Agatha Ruiz de la Prada or certain gestures are judged diferently in diferent times and contexts. Oliva Salviati We should relativize. Elegance is everywhere. It’s in the tiniest detail created by nature Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and man; it’s in the heart of a landscape, in a feather or a leaf, in a piece Cyrille Vigneron of haute couture, fine jewelry or an exceptional timepiece. Yet at the The Duke of Wellington same time it remains, for some of us, out of reach like some inaccessible Xiaozhou Taillandier Xing grail. We endlessly admire the innate poise of a large feline, the naturally graceful way a woman holds her head; we envy the break of the dandy’s trousers and his impeccable mustache unfazed by rain or shine.

  • Sfmoma Partners with Chef Corey Lee to Create New Restaurant in Situ
    For Immediate Release October 2, 2015 SFMOMA PARTNERS WITH CHEF COREY LEE TO CREATE NEW RESTAURANT IN SITU Will Be the Centerpiece of Expanded Dining Program at New Museum SAN FRANCISCO—The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) announces an innovative partnership with Michelin-three-starred Chef Corey Lee to create In Situ, a new restaurant on the ground floor level of the museum that will debut in spring 2016. Chef Lee will engage the global food community and reimagine the traditional restaurant experience by curating and executing a menu of dishes from recipes contributed by over 80 chefs from around the world. Participants include René Redzepi (Noma), Alice Waters (Chez Panisse), Thomas Keller (The French Laundry), Hajime Yoneda (HAJIME), Virgilio Martínez (Central), Martin Picard (Au Pied de Cochon), Olivier Roellinger (Les Maisons de Bricourt), Andoni Luis Aduriz (Mugaritz) and Dominique Ansel (Dominique Ansel Kitchen). “Similar to how we identify and support original creative voices and celebrate great masters, Corey is looking to the innovators, the emerging chefs and the legends to create the menu for In Situ,” describes Neal Benezra, director of SFMOMA. “Corey will partner with the chefs who are pushing the boundaries of the culinary world and bring global collaboration, excitement and flavors to our restaurant. What a terrific coup for SFMOMA.” In Situ will feature a rotating a la carte menu that will change to balance seasonality, style and geography. Lee will work closely with each chef to faithfully represent the dish both in technique and spirit. While some chefs have chosen to share a dish from their existing repertoire, others are creating something specifically for In Situ.

  • Dear Speaker Pelosi: We Represent San Francisco's Most Beloved
    Dear Speaker Pelosi: We represent San Francisco’s most beloved restaurants who are on the verge of closing our doors permanently as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. When we asked you to act this summer you delivered, ensuring the House of Representatives passed the RESTAURANTS Act that could provide critical grants for struggling independent restaurants and bars in San Francisco and across the country. Now this pandemic is worse than ever, negotiations over federal relief continue, and we need you to continue being a champion for neighborhood restaurants. Right now over 60,000 San Franciscans working in our dining rooms risk losing their jobs. San Francisco’s reputation as one of America’s most diverse culinary destinations is at stake. Many establishments open for decades have already closed permanently including Famous Bao, Ton Kiang, E’Tutto Qua, Farallon, Hinodeya, Bistro Aix, House, and Louis’. Many more have temporarily closed, and their closures will become permanent soon unless the Senate joins the House and passes the RESTAURANTS Act. In May, nearly 90% of San Francisco’s restaurants were losing money. Over the summer, restaurant sales dropped about 91% and over half of San Francisco’s restaurants have stopped generating sales. Today with indoor and outdoor dining restrictions, 100% of restaurants are losing revenue. If you were one of less than 8% of businesses lucky enough to receive a Paycheck Protection Program loan, that funding has, or very shortly will, run out. That’s why your support for our industry has been so crucial, and we thank you for listening to the hundreds of restaurants in your district who are trying to survive this crisis.
