From Cancer to Diabetes, Autism to Alzheimer's, we can search for help in many forms such as, assistance with transportation costs, support groups, household expenses, medical equipment and much more. While we cannot offer medical advice, we can sit down with you and look for organizations that may give you assistance in other areas. In these times, demand is great and organizations are few, but our Librarians are experts in researching groups that assist financially and otherwise with medical and health issues. Please call us. We will research any area, at no cost. 313.343.2074 ext. 200 John Guleserian - Cinematographer of Like Crazy Grosse Pointe South High School Alumnus And Cinematographer of the 2011 Film Like Crazy John Guleserian will discuss the art of cinematography and his experiences on the set of Like Crazy, winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
