THE SALON
FICTION SHORT, 2021
The Salon is about a middle aged woman who strikes up a conversation with her hairstylist, and works through her loss while getting her hair cut.
Through the course of this haircut, the short film explores an unlikely connection between two people from very different backgrounds, and also the conversations we have with others and with ourselves. It stars Sudha Belawadi, B Suresha, and Eric Leivang, and was produced by UA Kathachitra.
