The Big Tease

Synopsis

Convinced he’s been accepted to compete in Los Angeles’ prestigious Platinum Scissors contest, Scottish hairstylist Crawford leaves Glasgow with a small film crew in tow to document his big moment. Once in L.A. he discovers he was only sold a spectator’s seat, not a spot on stage. Refusing to accept defeat, Crawford improvises daring schemes to hijack the show, win over the crowd and turn his unexpected trip into the career-making break he came for.
