A cut above
Directed by Bille Woodruff
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Cube Vision
A warm, uplifting comedy about entrepreneurship and self-determination centered on a hairdresser building her own business and community in Atlanta.
Far from Chicago, hairdresser Gina Norris has relocated to Atlanta with her daughter and has quickly established herself as a rare talent in her profession. But after repeatedly butting heads with her shady, over-the-top boss, Jorge, Norris sets out to create her own salon -- even snagging a few of Jorge's employees and clients. Now, Jorge will do anything to shut her down.
