Written, directed and co-edited by New York native cum Hollywood scribe, Glenn Gers (writer of Mad Money and Fracture), disFIGURED is a poignant yet comic film about women and weight for an era when “perfect” is the standard by which women are measured. Starring a cast of talented up-and-comers including Deidra Edwards, Staci Lawrence and Ryan C. Benson the film has quickly become an audience favorite at the AFI Dallas International Film Festival and the winner of the Grand Jury prize at the deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City.
In disFIGURED, Lydia (Edwards) is a fat, graceful woman struggling to maintain her identity in fashionable Venice Beach, California. Though she is a member of a fat acceptance group (a movement dedicated to fighting prejudice against fat people), she struggles with complex feelings about her body. Darcy (Lawrence), a recovering-anorexic real estate agent, is struggling with the same issues but from a very different perspective. Her attempt to join the Fat Acceptance Group (since she sees herself as fat) is quickly rejected – but it introduces her to Lydia. Though they seem at first to be each other’s worst nightmare, Lydia and Darcy begin to confide in each other. Meeting warily in the social minefields of hunger and satisfaction, outrage and femininity, sexuality and fashion, trust and fear…they become friends.
