#eatpretty

About: #eatpretty is an experimental cinemagraph film that was commissioned by Random Acts and broadcast on Channel 4 in Summer 2018. It follows successful product photographer Anna, who aims for a life filled with perfect moments, inspired by a constant stream of social media feeds, sponsored blogs and fairytales playing on her computer. Yet whenever alone Anna's beautifully curated life is taken over by a growing hunger, and she starts hearing disturbing organic sounds. She controls this by eating pretty things, yet the hunger and sounds become inescapable, until even the men she dates become consumable objects.

Anna's story also exists as an endlessly looping series of perfect moments here: https://www.instagram.com/annaeatspretty
