Beardo is a documentary about beards and the 2009 World Beard and Moustache Championships. From the Beardo Website:

‘Beardo’ is a documentary on the 2009 World Beard and Moustache Championships (WBMC). Held in Anchorage, Alaska in 2009, this biennial competition judges men in eighteen different moustache, partial beard, and full beard categories for the title of “Best Facial Hair in the World.” This international event boasts nearly 300 competitors from 15 countries. The WBMC usually takes place in Europe, but was held in the U.S. for only the second time ever. In years past, every competition has been dominated by the Germans…

Produced by Jeffrey Tocci and DIGICO Shoot | Post | Design, ‘Beardo’ talks to first-time and veteran contestants from different countries about facial hair in soceity, and the competition and the competition aftermath. One-on-one interviews get behind the beards and reveal motivations, passions, dreams, and the stigma of living in a modern world with beards and moustaches.

I am featured throughout the movie, and here’s the trailer:
