Produced by Teresa Knox and directed by Matthew Simonson, “The Man in Bronze: The Making of the Leon Russell Statue” is a captivating 17-minute mini-documentary that takes you behind the scenes of the process of bringing the legendary Leon Russell to life. Viewers are taken on a journey through all stages of the intricate and time-honored Lost Wax Bronze process, as well as the challenges and triumphs faced by Jim Franklin as he strives to capture not just the physical attributes of Leon Russell, but also the essence of the man and the impact he continues to make on the industry. The film culminates in the installation of the bronze statue at The Church Studio, capturing the emotional reactions of fans and fellow musicians. This solidifies the Leon Russell statue as a timeless tribute to a musical icon and a testament to the collaborative artistry that went into creating a masterpiece that transcends space and time.

The Church Studio is a historic studio that was built in 1915 as Grace M.E. Church. It came to life in 1972 when Leon Russell, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Grammy Award-winning artist, purchased the old church and turned it into an analog recording studio and home office to Shelter Records. Teresa Knox, a Leon Russell fan and Tulsa native, purchased The Church Studio and has brought it back to life as a professional analog and digital recording studio, event center, audio engineering school, entertainment network, and home to The Church Studio Archive.
