Corey, Alvon, and JaCorey, the teenage proteges of barber Chief Bo Dollis Jr., learn the virtues of a tradition in New Orleans that guides the youth community through mentorship, artistic expression, and cultural practice.

Wild Magnolias finished its festival circuit having screened at Oscar-qualifying festivals across the country. It now lives in the permanent historical archive at the New Orleans Jazz Museum and also on Short of the Week. It had an internal screening at the U.S. government agency USAID and will also screen at the NOMA in 2025.
