pherank Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Julian MacKay and MacKay Productions produced a Helgi Tomasson documentary (excerpted at the celebration), which will be shown "in NYC May 23 at Chelsea Factory as a part of a celebration of his 37 year career!": https://www.instagram.com/p/CczSoUMryq6/ It's nice that MacKay could be involved in this celebration - it seems to confirm that there are no issues between Helgi and Julian.
