Life After Fat Focuses on Body Image, 20-Somethings, Now on Indiegogo

Life After Fat, a new web series created by Julia Pugachevsky and directed by Jason Hood, introduces viewers to Maddie (Tamara Shephard), a 24-year old thrift store employee getting used a huge change in her life: losing 90 lbs over the course of the past year. For the first time in her life, Maddie is seen as "attractive", which brings a side of herself unfamiliar to her, and brings her into new situations and problems in her life. 

While the series has only released a pilot episode and is currently running an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to produce nine more episodes, Pugachevsky hopes explore "what self-esteem really is — if it’s a piece of you that one day clicks into place or if it’s an amorphous force that is constantly shifting — and if we can ever truly be happy with ourselves in either scenario."
