Baldies – What About My Hair? is an animated short about a fearless group of kids battling cancer who meet in hospital and turn their fight into an adventure.

Maude, an actress, grows bitter as she loses another job to her nemesis Catherine Perry, whose popularity is growing amongst the commercial and television auditioning circuit.

A blend of drama and documentary, this film follows several people caught up in the turmoil of the modern world. The drama centres on a woman who has burned out and who holds up her own despair – and her attempts to rebuild her life – as a mirror to the rest of us.

A conversation between friends about relationships and feelings is developed in an imaginative, colorful animation.
