The Film
A young woman who has suffered eating disorders half of her life suddenly gets pregnant. She faces the challenges of eating properly and staying healthy. An intimate story about balancing between motherhood and a difficult illness.
The Music
A film narrated by the main character, Eating for Two required a gentle touch. The music is used to reinforce a range of emotions at the same time, rather than a single, central emotion. It is also instrumetal in referencing the world outside of the main character, who's voice and presence dominates the film. I used electric guitar and a Moog for most of the sounds.
