Luisito Rosario - Singer, Performing Artist
Big C's relation with Luisito Rosario started in 2004 during a series of concerts in the Caribbean, where members of our team were fortunate enough to work in his orchestra. Luisito is not only an amazing singer, dazzling his audience around the world with his performances, but also an excellent recording artist. His Puerto Rican roots and his excellency for interpreting latin music, almost forced us to use cuts from his first solo album, "Jurame". We highly appreciate Luisitos generosity of letting us use his music for Treasures of the South Caribbean. For more information about Luisito Rosario and his music, please visit his website: www.luisitorosario.com

Laura D'Abbondanza - Translator/Narrator for Italian and Spanish (Milan, Italy)
Laura D'Abbondanza joined our team in 2003 during a production in Mazatlán by translating and narrating "Mazatlán - Land of Deer" into Spanish and Italian. Her milanese accent was not only an enrichment to our documentary, but also a seduction to our entire team. After wrapping up a shoot at a local jewelry store, she convinced the crew, that playing with the kids at the orphanage would be so much more rewarding than going to the beach. Back then it was hard to believe, but now we're glad that Laura set this cornerstone for charity that is still continued today. back to top |

Andres A. Carrillo grew up bilingual (Spanish/English) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 1993 he moved to Switzerland where he visited Alpina School of Hotel Management, to find out, if he had to wear "Lederhosen" in order to understand Swiss German.

Working for complaining guests at luxury hotels and on-board the love boat, Andres finds it quite refreshing to translate and narrate our scripts, favorably in Spanish. back to top

Ross Whitney - Recording Engineer, Audio Editor, Technical Advisor, Script Editor (Los Angeles, CA)
Ross Whitney is said to have been born in Detroit Michigan, then wandered the country aimlessly before settling in Los Angeles during the Madonna Years. Since that time he has been a general nuisance to society and cares little what others think. He does, however, condescend to chop audio to bits in the service of providing the already over-mediated world with nonsensical flux to further confuse people. We wish him luck. back to top |
