Synopsis: Eat Like A Bird is a short film which puts you inside of the mind
of Jennifer, a wife and mother who develops Anorexia Nervosa. You are
intertwined with the battering of thoughts and anxiety that the eating
disorder causes her. In addition to having a view of her mind on the
inside, you are taken along her journey as she starts t...o receive
treatment. This is only after receiving an ultimatum from her husband,
Thomas and the pleading of her best friend, Hillary. While in treatment,
she meets several other patients and you are able to take a glimpse in
their worlds and hear their heartwrentching stories of what led them to
develop their eating disorders. At the point in which Jennifer starts to
want recovery, she is hit with a brick wall. Will she be able to climb over
it?

(This film is intended to give the audience a better understanding of
eating disorders and the barriers to obtaining treatment.)
