L.A.+Broken Dreams+Self-Cannibalistic Tendencies=’EAT’
I’m up for some body horror, are you? The teaser trailer for Pretty People Pictures’ Eat is now online. Written and directed by Jimmy Weber and produced by Annie Baker, Eat marks the feature length debut for both filmmakers after their short film Incubator left its bloody footprint on the 2011 film festival circuit (Fantastic Fest 2011, Fantasia 2011, Screamfest 2011). The film will premiere this fall.

Synopsis
Novella McClure is like most struggling actresses in Los Angeles: she’s in her early 30s, her fake name sounded cooler ten years ago, and she hasn’t landed a role in three years. To top it all off, she’s developed a disturbing habit of eating her own flesh. Novella desperately tries to hide her strange condition from her motherly landlord, Eesha, and somewhat psychopathic best friend, Candice, but her body and mind continue to deteriorate in the depressing world of failed auditions and sketchy night clubs. Can a romantic relationship with her psychiatrist prevent her from self destruction? Or will her fatal habit continue to eat away at her?
