Director's Statement​

    The most common eating disorder is an undiagnosed one. The kind that keeps women eating half their plate and squeezing into jeans one size too small -- a culturally self sustaining obsession. While we have seen movies of women ending up in hospitals, thin and helpless, we’ve yet to see a relatable story. Surface Tension, a family-comedy, is aimed at portraying this all-too-common reality not at its extremes, but as the undercurrent that pervades all the decisions a young woman makes. It is often when we laugh at ourselves, that we can best relate to ourselves. As the audience sees themselves, I hope they can begin to unroot that which lives just below the surface.
