AB  - Jane, a fourth year high school student, wants to lose weight in order for the school heartthrob to notice her and eventually take her to the Junior-Senior Prom. With the help of her friends, Jane tries to lose weight within one week. During the span of one week, she experiences the difficulty that comes with being overweight and the pressure that society puts on being thin and beautiful. In the end, she realizes that the only ways to feel good and have fun is to accept herself as she is. The reason why I chose this topic for my thesis is because the issue of being overweight in  a thin society has been confronting me all my life. I have tried everything to lose weight but nothing worked. The so-called problem is in my genes but society doesn't want to accept that. They would rather think of fat people as being lazy slobs who eat all day. I am sick of trying to measure up to society's standards of beauty. I believe that people should be allowed to feel comfortable with their bodies. The thesis was shot using a hi-8 camera and edited using non-linear editing.
