‘Hair’ - A Feature Length Documentary
I starred in, directed and produced a feature-length documentary entitled “Hair.” The film was distributed to Hulu, Amazon Prime and iTunes and ran their various platforms.
From the time we are born we share an intimate connection to our hair. A security blanket and a the documentary, ‘Hair’, explores hair and how it, or lack of it, shapes our identity. When a young woman sets out to shave her head, by letting go of her attachment to her hair she ends up letting go of everything else that no longer served her.
She went from a "beer drinking, rib-eating woman", to a vegetarian who prefers tea over a cocktail. She lost 30 pounds and has become much more focused in her life and career.
As a result of her transformation, she decides to throw a fundraising event in LA to empower women through shaving off their own locks. What she finds is that hair has a much deeper meaning than that of looks, and it affects men and women. It is part of our identity.
What role do other people play in the perception of our hair, and what lengths are we willing to go to to either break the mold or to succumb to society's pre-determined perception of ones inner beauty? What happens if we shave it off? If we lose it from cancer treatment? How do we feel with a new hairstyle or color? Does it shape our personality? Is your hair you, or are you your hair?
