A short film crew from South Bend | Chuck Fry, Ryan Blaske, Jacob Titus | Now playing: Ms. Adeli
On Sunday, August 22nd, we hosted a screening of our first short film Ms. Adeline.
Ms. Adeline tells the story of a typical Saturday at Ms. Adeline Wigfall-Jones’ barbershop on West Washington Street in South Bend, which she has owned and operated since 1976. She is 92 years old.
The evening began with a welcome by First Lady of South Bend Kellye Mitros and members of Greater St. John Missionary Baptist Church. Ethan Marosz spun vinyl, and Bruno’s provided free pizza for all.
It was a time.

Ms. Adeline Wigfall-Jones has been cutting hair on West Washington Street in South Bend since 1976. She is 91 years old.
Her shop, Wigfall Barbershop, persists decades after most businesses have closed in her neighborhood that was once the city’s premier black-owned business district, and her customers span generations.
We spent a typical Saturday, from 6:57 am to 4:49 pm, at the barbershop with Ms. Adeline and asked: “when are you going to stop?”
