Empire Waist

Trailer & Synopsis

‘What's unique is that this movie isn't about transformation into conventional beauty but rather about accepting your body as it is, loving it, and showing it off.’ – Common Sense Media

A sweet coming-of-age film that tackles harmful misconceptions about body sizes and body types with humour and heart, to celebrate self-expression and the pricelessness of finding a good group of friends who will be your champions.

Lenore is a teen deeply insecure about her weight. Hiding her passion for fashion design, she tries to make herself invisible in her day-to-day life to avoid being bullied by her classmates and image-conscious mother. Lenore’s father Mark is her biggest cheerleader and her best friend Kayla is confident, funny, outgoing, and proud of her plus-sized body. Through their support along with teacher Ms Hall Lenore is encouraged to step outside her comfort zone and embrace her talent.

The film co-stars Rainn Wilson (The Office US) as Mark, Lenore’s unconditionally supportive father, plus a diverse cast of young new talent.
