“Losing It” - A Short Film about Navigating Hair Loss by Uncommon Creative Studio

Directed by Marvin Jay Alvarez and produced by Uncommon Creative Studio, Losing It centres on a young man confronting hair loss. In a poignant moment, a barber reaches out with empathy, offering more than a trim.

The film stars Allan Mustafa and Hugo Chegwin and serves as a stirring example of how simple connection can humanise healthcare challenges.

The film avoids product placement and overt messaging, instead focusing on an intimate human moment. It’s an approach that could resonate with healthcare brands looking to cut through with authenticity: real emotion over rehearsed scripts, empathy over hard sell.

By grounding its narrative in lived experience, Losing It reframes hair loss not as a problem to fix, but as a life change to navigate—with understanding, dignity and human connection. It’s a reminder that in healthcare storytelling, sometimes the quietest moments speak the loudest.
