ABOUT FILM: An aging barber (Carl Welden) and his teenage granddaughter (Riley Dobbins) bicker over the future of their family barbershop. Set in a Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory-like barbershop called Pugsley's SideShow, the two face off over the importance of patriarchy in running a business.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER: Jackson Cutrone is just beginning his career in film making. Last year he worked as a sound engineer, composer, and editor on a short documentary called Paperback, through the Woodstock Film Festival Youth Film Lab. This year he wrote, directed, and composed for his own short film called Split Ends, also through the Youth Film Lab. He is currently in High School so he is not a full time film maker. He plans to continue with writing and directing his upcoming projects such as a comedy series about ironically, a teenager who writes for a tv series.
