Halston, Frédéric Tcheng's absorbing, exhaustive documentary about the charmed — then ill-fated — life and business of the superstar gay American fashion designer of the same name, should be the final word on what the visionary accomplished.

There are several stories in my film, that can inspire and can be relatable to many people, whether they're Madonna fans or not.
