Isabel’s memoir “Roots of Style: Weaving Together Life, Love, and Fashion,” which included illustrations by Ruben, was published in 2012. Executive producers of “Izzy” are David Dinerstein and Robert Fyvolent of Mass Distraction Media, the same team behind the Oscar-winning documentary “Summer Of Soul.” Additional executive producers include New York City publishers and culture chroniclers Kim Hastreiter, Paige Powell and Visionaire co-founders Cecilia Dean and James Kaliardos, all of whom have known the Toledos since their early days in New York City. Composer Thomas Lauderdale of the band Pink Martini will produce the film’s musical score, which will include collaborations with established and emerging Cuban artists.
