ari showed up early. with research.

he knew Vinay’s background. his education. his upbringing. he could cite details. ari had done meticulous research. and the reasons for this pursuit went beyond curiosity. this decision carried significant emotional weight as well.

this short film explores dr. vinay’s process. the lengths he’s willing to explore to deliver the very best results he can for his patients. bringing in one of Chicago’s finest barbers to offer perspectives on how best to prepare for and manage the results of a hair restoration procedure.

our goal in filming this process was to blend into the background. bearing witness to something so many curious people have questions about. we’re not there to guide and shape. we’re there to pull the curtain back and give the viewer access into something deeply personal and involved.
