• 4/25 11:16 am - I thought this was very well done. The concept from beginning to end worked, but it did end abruptly. The lighting helped the scenes look naturally lit, the music added to emotional effect. The subject matter was raw and the way the inner demon was visualized was nice.

Judge 1

Positives: Very poignant commentary of body image and social pressures. The embodiment of eating disorders was most effective. The editing of the seen with the "creature" was very well done.

Improvements: Would have like to see more a slow growth in the main character to match the hectic montage of self abuse. A slow fight to overcome the illness would have nicely juxtaposed with the mania of living through the illness.

Judge 2

Positives: Important theme. Great symbolism. Well edited.

Improvements: Too abrupt of an ending. Could use stronger camerawork.
