Body Neutrality/ED Recovery Pitch
News Peg: Eating disorders increased dramatically during the pandemic. Now, as concerns over Covid continue to dwindle, Americans have more capacity to focus on the other aspects of health.
Angle: This short doc will focus on one to two central characters who have experience with eating disorders and the concept of body neutrality. It will cover a little bit of their backstories, how they recovered from disordered eating, how the pandemic affected them, and their experience and views on diet, exercise, and body image. I think video is a great medium for this as the topic is inherently visual and it’s a great way to feature an inclusive cast.
