Speakeasy room in the back of the shop. As three producers from Butterfly Angel Entertainment will be in attendance at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California, November 4‐11, 2015.

American Film Market is one of the largest conferences in the entertainment industry in its existence, where participants come from over 80 countries and include acquisition and development executives, agents, attorneys, directors, distributors, festival directors, financiers, film commissioners, producers, writers, the world’s press all those who provide services to the motion picture industry. Butterfly Angel Entertainment will be there to showcase and discuss a few of their projects, with its main focal point on THERE AIN’T NO SHEAR LUCK, a documentary that explores the life, controversies, elations and tragedies of legendary barber Donnie Hawley.


Donnie Hawley has made a name for himself in the barbering world. A rare breed that is often invited to tour the world for his craft. Hawley has been featured on a few shows and films, it was inevitable that a film would be made of him. Hawley has been a barber for two decades, and it’s a fact that you either
love or hate Donnie Hawley.
In the midst of all the industry chaos, Butterfly Angel Entertainment have decided to host their own after party during the AFM event. On Sunday, November 8th, 2015 at Hawleywood’s Barbershop in Costa Mesa. During the after party, which will have music, food and swag bags to give away to all R.S.V.P.’d
guests; attendees will be invited to get a sneak peak of the film THERE AIN’T NO SHEAR LUCK, via the  viewing of a promo, along with meet greet of the filmmakers involved and of course, with legendary barber and pomade innovator, Donnie Hawley himself. Some guests will also win prizes, like the full
Hawleywood’s experience which includes a haircut and hot towel shave by a professional Hawleywood’s barber.

Unfortunately, this invite is extended to guests, attendees, and buyers of the American FilmMarket.


“We’re excited by this project and are looking forward to attendee AFM and letting the industry know what’s coming from us. We’re eager to make more
announcements regarding the project.” Stated Alexa Polar, co‐director and writer of There Ain’t No Shear Luck.
