VERONICA KEDAR
THIN

Receiving pre-production funding from The Future of Film is Female
(July 2019)

About the film: All Sylvia wants for her 30th birthday is to belong. Her parents adore her and her sisters want the best for her but in a world that judges you by your appearance, it’s harder for some to fit in. Especially when you're a small woman in a big big world.

The funds will be used for the production stage to cover the equipment.
