Sony Pictures Animation: The Making of “Hair Love”

Join the filmmakers for a screening and behind-the-scenes look at the making of “Hair Love,” a touching animated short film about an African American father learning to do his daughter’s hair for the first time. “Hair Love” is a collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation that was launched by director Matthew A. Cherry as a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 with a fundraising goal of $75,000. Strong support led to the campaign amassing nearly $300,000, making it the most highly-funded short film campaign in Kickstarter history. Speakers: Matthew Cherry (director/writer/producer), Karen Toliver (producer) and Stacey Newton (producer)
