About
It’s a Hairy World is a short documentary film series exploring the people, ideas and purpose behind a more sustainable salon industry.
Spotlight helped shape the project around the founders of Sustainable Salons and their journey from an early idea to a growing impact focused organisation. Through interviews, observational footage and founder led storytelling, the film reveals how discarded salon materials, including hair, can be recovered, repurposed and transformed into meaningful environmental and social outcomes.
The project was designed to make a complex sustainability story feel personal, accessible and emotionally engaging.

We shaped It’s a Hairy World around the human story behind Sustainable Salons, following the founders from an ambitious idea to a growing movement changing how salon waste is understood and recovered.
Rather than focusing only on recycling processes and sustainability statistics, the film brings audiences closer to the people, decisions and relationships behind the organisation.
Dennis served as Director and Co DP, leading the narrative development, interview direction and visual storytelling in collaboration with the wider production team. His contribution helped turn a technical environmental subject into an honest and cinematic founder journey with wider social relevance.
