For decades Clint Eastwood has been captivating macho men, swooning weak kneed women and setting box office records with his relentless talent as an actor, director, producer and composer.  

As an elder statesman of filmmaking, Eastwood’s cool, one-take / two-takes-top directing style is only one ingredient making his films unique, personally composed soundtracks is the other.   

As a musician and jazz aficionado, Eastwood lays down haunting melodies that seep into the marrow of your soul, bringing characters to life and making them indelible in your mind. 

This evening Clint Eastwood will receive the Lucky Brand Modern Master Award for his legendary contributions to film by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.  P. Fagen Productions is the creative force behind tonight’s tribute with Sean Penn presenting and film historian and critic Leonard Maltin on hand to moderate.
