Big news today! Producer and filmmaker Robin Honan – the producer behind our recent “Fire With Fire” film – has just been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Documentary for “Mondays at Racine.” This heartwarming and powerful film chronicles sisters Cynthia and Rachel, who open the doors of their Long Island hair salon, “Racine,” to women undergoing chemotherapy on the third Monday of the month. As locks of hair fall to the floor, women gossip, giggle, weep, face their fears, and discover unexpected beauty.

This is Robin’s first (and much deserved) Oscar-nomination. Directed by Cynthia Wade, the film will broadcast on HBO later this year.

Watch the trailer below.
