Glenn Holsten is an award-winning documentary film director who loves to create compelling story experiences of all lengths for screens of all sizes. His most recent work, Hollywood Beauty Salon, is a feature length documentary that tells the story of a tiny beauty parlor tucked inside the Germantown Recovery Community, a non-profit mental health facility in Northwest Philadelphia, which is a program of NHS Human Services. The film weaves together stories of struggles with darkness – including mental health challenges, addiction, trauma and abuse – with powerful narratives of hope and light, revealing the strength of this special community. Glenn shares with Ryan his first memories of filmmaking, his personal connections with documenting mental illness, and evil Santas. Learn more and see clips from the film at hollywoodbeautysalonmovie.com or like them on Facebook.
