Straight Razor: The Story of the Smith Street Barbershop
Official Selection — NYC Indie Theatre Film Festival 2022
Recipient of the Brown Arts Initiative Grant
Experience a day in the life of three barbers as they navigate a pandemic, keeping their community connected one cut at a time.
A moving portrait of resilience and brotherhood, Straight Razor stands as a testament to local storytelling and community legacy.
The film made Billiards VMSOA a two-time Brown Arts Initiative Grant recipient at Brown University and a two-time NYC Indie Theatre Film Festival official selection.
From filmed interviews across Billiards VMSOA Magazine and Billiards Music to our Artist Roundtables, we bring together artists like John Douglas Thompson (Till, Broadway’s King Lear), Kiara Pichardo (School Spirits, Paramount+), and Alecys Proctor-Turner (Survival of the Thickest, Netflix) for intimate conversations on craft, community, and purpose.
