Director Statement

SHREDDING is a film about diet culture, heteronormativity and the crushing weight of being 30-something and online. It's also about being hungry and insufferable. As an actress, I'm both fascinated by and guilty of "Main Character Syndrome" and the way we allow our mood to dictate what genre of film we happen to be living in at any given moment. SHREDDING is a comedy for its audience, but a heavy drama for its protagonists. This film is for anyone who has ever got to the end of fifteen minutes crying like they're in an Academy Award winning tragedy, only to wonder... what now? (Probs just go on your phone.)
