The Wrecking Crew

As the son of Tommy Tedesco, one of the key guitarists in ‘The Wrecking Crew,’ Denny is uniquely positioned to tell the story of ‘TheWrecking Crew.’

Denny Tedesco grew up in Los Angeles and is an alumnus of Loyola Marymount University. He started his film career as a set decorator on feature films such as Eating Raoul. He then traveled the world as a lighting technician and location producer for IMAX films. From the shark infested waters of Australia, to an exploding Volcano of Mt. Pinatubo (Philippines), and to the plains of Africa, he has filmed under the most challenging conditions. Yet nothing has ever challenged him more than bringing the story of his father, Tommy Tedesco and his friends to the big screen. The phrase “labor of love” may be over-used, but in this case it was the only way to make The WreckingCrew come to life. It has taken 18 years from beginning to end. For nearly twenty years, Denny has produced promos, videos and commercials for various companies and networks. In 2000, he produced the Academy Awards ‘opening’ with Billy Crystal and also the music video for the Elton John song, ‘I Want Love,’ directed by artist Sam Taylor Wood and starring Robert Downey Jr.
