THIN, a documentary about young women with eating disorders directed by internationally-renowned still photographer Lauren Greenfield and shot with Panasonic 24p cameras (the AJ-SDX900 DVCPRO50 camera backed up by the mini-DV AG-DVX100A), will screen in the Documentary Competition at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival, Jan. 19-29 in Park City, Utah.
Produced by Greenfield, R.J. Cutler, Amanda Micheli (the director of photography) and Ted Skillman in concert with HBO Documentary Films, THIN will premiere on HBO this fall.
