Experience the cinematic journey of 'New Growth'. A story of empowerment, friendship, and the raw beauty of the indie filmmaking process.
Close-knit best friends – news reporter Robin St. Clair, failed inventor Nia Birdsong; and aspiring social media Influencer, Liberty Maxwell; – realize that they have much more in common than hair struggles, they are all unhappy with some aspect of themselves.
When Nia invents a magicial hair growth formula, the three friends decide to go into business together and bring the hair product to the masses. An instant success, it revolutionizes the beauty industry and the women soon find all of their dreams coming true. But with this success, there is a heavy price to pay and while the women struggle to maintain their sanity and friendship, they are forced to face the harsh realities that made them unhappy in the firstplace.
