COMEDY
At a taping, new backup dancer Chloe realizes that the fitness instructor is slowly turning into a demon and expects Chloe to join the dark side, too.
Body Positive (working title) is a satirical take on the classic YouTube fitness video. This short film is an absurd, lighthearted commentary on women navigating societal expectations of their bodies (and the girl-on-girl crime that sometimes ensues as a result).
