Synopsis:
Manscaping is an intimate documentary portrait of three queer men who are reimagining the traditional barbershop. Devan Shimoyama is a Black American artist, fast on the rise, whose barbershop painting series draws upon Afrofuturism and drag to envision the Black barbershop as a more inclusive space. Jessie Anderson is a young transgender Canadian barber and proprietor of Big Bro\u2019s Barbershop, where trans, gender nonconforming, and queer customers know they won\u2019t have to \u2018go back into the closet\u2019 to get a haircut. Richard Savvy, Australia\u2019s \u2018naked barber\u2019, is a fetish barber\/porn actor, and former \u2018Sydney Mr. Leather\u2019 who invites you to leave your shame and clothes at the door and to add the transformative power of kink to your cut. Their stories, artistry, and activism model ways we can cut through the toxicity of male fragility in favor of social inclusion and personal freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
