The Drop In is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Naledi Jackson and released in 2017.[1] The film stars Mouna Traoré as Joelle, a hairdresser at a Black Canadian hair salon who faces an unexpected challenge when Grace (Oluniké Adeliyi), a woman she knew in her prior life, drops in ostensibly for a haircut, but in fact with ulterior motives involving Joelle's immigration status.[2]
The film received production funding from the Harold Greenberg Fund in 2016,[3] and premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.[2]
The film was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films in December 2017.[4]
