Abstract
The short film Shaving is an adaptation of a simple yet powerful short story of the same name by the Welsh author Leslie Norris. Upon first reading it, this story resonated with me; its beautiful message about preparing for and coping with loss is important and can be helpful to the human experience. The visual nature of Norris’ writing inspired me. I wanted to bring this story to a wider audience. Adapting the story to short film made this possible; it also provided me and several other film students with an opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom and from projects in a practical setting.
