Endless Creativity

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the mother of a friend of mine. This video, produced by her daughter and my friend, Christabel Savalas, tells the life story of her mother, Helena Macree Tsavalas. The film is titled "Endless Creativity", and after watching this clip, you'll see why:

I first met Christabel when she lived on 8th Avenue, in the Inner Sunset. I delivered mail to her for many months before the 1300 block was removed from my route. After that, I continued to see Christabel frequently in the neighborhood. She is a warm and wonderful woman, full of vivacity and creativity. She's held many jobs during the time I've known her, including tour guide extraordinaire (speaking 4 languages, I believe!), actress, and film-maker. I enjoyed her earlier production, called Roommates - especially since she included local residents as actors in the film! And, I cherish the opportunity she gave to all of us invited to the viewing of her mother's dolls. What a remarkable mother and daughter team!

Christabel's video "Endless Creativity" is the recent winner of Hawaii's Aloha Accolade award, and the money she raises now will help pay her way to Honolulu to accept this award in March. Way to go, woman!

PS - You may recognize the name Savalas, immortalized by Christabel's first cousin Telly, of Kojak fame. It is clear that creativity runs in this family...
