    Editors Richard Gillespie and Marc Hoffmeister Take Jewelry to a Personal Level

    DALLAS -- (SPW) --

    <a href="http://(www.fastcuts.tv)/”>Fast Cuts and Barkley announce the completion of three heartwarming short films and spots for the high-end jewelry company, Helzberg Diamonds. One of the films unveiled their top-secret surprise—figure skating gold medalist Dorothy Hamill as Helzberg Diamonds’ newest celebrity collaborator. The American legend has collaborated with Helzberg to design her first line of jewelry entitled Love, Help, and Hope™, whose portions of the proceeds go to cancer research including Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

    A recent breast cancer survivor, Hamill shares the story of how the news affected her life and touches on how her love for skating helped push her to win a gold medal in 1976. Now, she is ready to encourage others to spread their love for one another and assist her in raising money for the cause through her jewelry line.

    The other films open the doors to the lives of two endearing everyday couples: Seth & Susan and Charlie & Klara. Stories of life and love shared by the couples dare to pull at your heartstrings and hope to connect to viewers in a way that is both passionate and personal. All three films are featured on the company’s I Am Loved® website and encourage viewers to share their own love stories through letters, photos, and/or videos. The “Dorothy Hamill” spot is also available to be viewed on camera phones via JAGTAG.
