Starved

About This Movie

Starved is a short film that dives into the murky waters of self-perception and body image. You can feel the awkwardness radiating from Benji as he navigates the ups and downs of matching with a girl who feels, well, unattainable. The pacing is deliberately unhurried, mirroring his spiraling thoughts and growing insecurity. The tone combines both humor and a biting sense of reality, making the emotional beats hit harder. Not a lot of flashy effects here; it's really about the raw performances that keep you grounded. There’s something refreshingly honest about its portrayal of body dysmorphia, stripping away any pretense. It's not just a story; it's a reflection that many can relate to.
