Partial Program
We are developing Partial Program into a film.
Partial Program written by Ali Zagame talks about Eating Disorders and the many people they effect. Following the first experience of entering an eating disorder recovery program Young Woman meets her support group and the professionals that are to help her.
Eating Disorders effect so many people in numerous different ways. We hope to bring awareness and a voice to those who are recovering and who are struggling with an Eating Disorder through producing this film.
Our first development reading was held in August 2020. With plans to hold a second reading at the end of October and to film at the end of 2020.
Our August reading is available to watch and share your feedback on our Patreon community. Click the button below to join and be a part of our next project.
