Hair Wolf
A beautiful new film for a beautiful people
Directed by Mariama Diallo
Produced by Valerie Steinberg Productions
A darkly comedic horror-satire that weaponizes the salon as a space of cultural defense, blending genre playfulness with sharp commentary on appropriation and extraction.
The staff of a black hair salon fend off a strange new monster: white women intent on sucking the lifeblood from black culture.
