A Statement from our Founder regarding the passing of Henry Less
It is with a heavy heart that we must report the passing of a close and dedicated friend of the Looking at the Stars Foundation, the renowned filmmaker and great humanitarian, Mr. Henry Less. His long-standing support of LATS’ mission and vision has been a source of inspiration for us all. We are sharing a recent statement from our Founder and CEO, Dmitri Kanovich, regarding the passing of Mr. Less.
GOOD-BYE, HENRY…
My Friend Henry Less has “left the set” in style and abruptly – swimming against the odds of his age in the waters of Lake Ontario, nothing has ever stopped him from meeting a challenge.
Henry did not look or live like anyone else. He was a magnificent, unselfish human being who was attempting to change the world and who challenged many skeptics to believe that humans can be a beautiful species.
I had the fortune of knowing him personally for about 10 years and witnessing his extraordinary generosity and talent, both on and off the set, driven by his unique ability to capture human joy and suffering. Often with tears in his eyes, usually with camera in his hands and always with his heart on his sleeve.
He has never broken a promise, except once – he will not make an agreed upon meeting in the beginning of September to discuss our next project, which will now become a dedication to his memory. I am ticked off. Fate continues to make its decisions with no respect to the above.
We will meet again, dear Henry – nothing can prevent this from happening.. Thank you and until then.
