I wanted to take a moment to say what a moving, beautiful and brave film it was. It was an incredible tribute by Paul Gailiunas to his partner in life. How amazing to learn about such a brave and joyous woman and the unique life she led. All we can hope for in this world is to love and to be loved in return and this movie overflowed with Paul's love for Helen and her love for New Orleans and humanity. She certainly lives on through the love she inspired in others, the beauty she loved in the world and their beautiful son. I wasn't familiar with the story but will now never forget it. Thank you to Paul and all of those who loved Helen for sharing her and your stories. -kate I recently had the privilege of seeing the premiere of The Florestine Collection at the Film Festival in Ann Arbor.

It was called the Helen Hill Birthday Fundraiser. Lots of filmmakers showed work, there were cupcakes and a fashion performance, music by friends of Helen and Paul's, selling of DVDs and a drawing for Florestine keychain viewfiinders - and it was really successful - we raised almost $1000. Here's a link to some photos on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=57742&id=1054171463 and more info about the fundraiser here http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118117501540999&ref=ts thanks for keeping this site going, Courtney Cristin,
