Hunger hurts but starving works

This blog is all about my current film 'Dear Ana'

I am a third year film student from Farnham University of the Creative Arts and I am currently working on my graduation film which is about anorexia, to raise eating disorder awareness. Please read more and follows my posts and links to find out more about this project.

The Characters

Alice: Alice is a troubled young girl who has just discovered the anorexic lifestyle, and is struggling with the inner conflict of whether to choose gluttony or starvation


Ana: Ana represents the 'bad' side of Alice, the side that is seduced by the alluring and glamourous anorexic world, the side that strives for the perfect body ideal.


Aveline: Aveline represents the 'good' side of Alice, the sensible side that knows deep down that anorexia is a disease, not a lifestyle choice and starvation is not really the way to happiness.


The three characters will be played by the same actress to reinforce the idea of the inner conflict and troubled mind set.


I have been very lucky to find a fantastic actress Amy Derber who will be playing all three roles.
