The Skeleton Ballet
Project type
Short Film
Date
May 2024
Location
Los Angeles, CA
LMU Junior Thesis Film
Role: Writer/Director/Producer
Awarded LMU SFTV Standout Film, May 2024
A young ballerina struggles to cope with an eating disorder under the stress of an upcoming audition. This film is meant to serves as a conversation starter for topics such as female mental health, body image issues, eating disorders, and the high rate of eating disorders in ballet.
Media doesn't typically portray eating disorders with accuracy, so in my film I wanted to show the true horrors they cause and inspire people who may be struggling to seek help.
Total run time 12.5 minutes.
