Plot
A young man in Oakland, California wakes with a heavy heart and decides to take a walk through the neighborhood to the local barbershop.
Sinekatalog’s take
A young man walks heavy-hearted through his Oakland neighbourhood toward the barbershop, and the short lets the street and its faces do the talking. It is intimate, grounded and quietly confident. A good sample for anyone curious about small-scale, mood-driven filmmaking.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
