Director's notes
This short film is inspired by personal experience. For years my (girl)friends and I were exposed to subtle body-shaming and constant weight-loss promotion on social media. All of us struggled with low self-esteem and body-image at some point. This film is my take on turning those experiences into something visually entertaining. I hope it will speak to the audience, whilst being fun to watch.
