Today, it’s hard to escape the constant bombardment of unrealistic beauty and body standards, but Thinestra is adding two more cents to the discourse.
After being introduced to a new weight loss drug, a woman finds herself in a sticky situation when the flesh she rapidly shed returns as an evil, man-eating doppelgänger.
Yes, it’s as wild as it sounds.
All while attacking major societal issues and allowing for deeper conversations about one’s relationship with their body.
Director Nathan Hertz and I dive into how he became aligned with the Thinestra, his directorial debut, disorganized eating, societal standards, body positivity, body not-so positivity, enablement versus support, and some of the film’s hidden messaging.
Thinestra is a horrific, dark comedy that’s daring, eye-opening, and savagely entertaining.
Stay tuned for more on the film here.
