A guy starts a hair-loss fetish website to pay tuition. Yes, really. No, it doesn't go well.
BALD is the tale of Andrew Wood, a second year university student whose grades are receding faster than his hairline. He hits rock bottom when he finds out that hes been kicked out of school. In an effort to increase his own self esteem and erase his insecurity about losing his hair, Andrew and his best friend Max start an online internet business with all of the girls at college.

Dialogue so awkward it loops back to fascinating.

Peak 2008 digital camera aesthetic, gloriously unpolished.
Director
Blake Leibel
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Blake Leibel was later convicted of murder in 2016, making this his only feature film and giving it an unintentionally dark afterlife in true crime circles.
This film captures the exact moment when 'making a website' seemed like a viable get-rich-quick scheme to every college dropout with a server and a dream.
