National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) 2009

This film is about our current society's universal and objective conception of beauty. It follows the daily and exhausting rituals of an anorexic girl. Bombarded by the demands of a consumer society, she soon realizes her desire to conform has turned her into a sight more frightening then her fear of rejection. Sometimes when people drift so far from reality, it requires an element of fantasy, bad or good, to bring them closer to sanity. In America, many cannot escape the boundaries of mainstream media--a medium that offers little diversity and perspective of beauty. The central character in the film loses touch of her subjective rights as she is imprisoned by the unattainable demands society enforces upon itself and its impact on individualism.
