Cynthia Jordan: Christine Handy’s movie “Hello Beautiful” won Best Overall Picture at the Beverly Hills Film Festival
Cynthia Jordan, Founder and CEO at Learn Look Locate, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This is so incredible!!!
I am beaming with excitement to share with all of you that Christine Handy ‘s movie “Hello Beautiful ” WON BEST OVERALL PICTURE at the Beverly Hills Film Festival tonight!
The Inspiration Behind “Hello Beautiful”
During her own battle with breast cancer, Christine found herself yearning for uplifting and hopeful stories that showcased the strength and resilience of the cancer community. However, she discovered that most films centered around cancer ended with the protagonist’s death, leaving little room for narratives of hope and survival.
This realization sparked Christine’s determination to change the conversation surrounding breast cancer in media.
“I felt a deep yearning to watch uplifting, hopeful films and other media concerning breast cancer,” she shares. “I assumed that if I felt that disappointment with the limited cultural portrayal of the disease, maybe others did as well.”
“Hello Beautiful” follows the transformative journey of Willow, portrayed by Tricia Helfer, a model and mother facing a life-altering breast cancer diagnosis. Mirroring Christine’s own experiences, the film delves into the physical and emotional challenges of the disease, ultimately revealing the power of inner strength and self-love.
