Over the years I have watched many films surrounding mental health issues, all of which bring their own message in their own way. I was keen to create something different, a satirical yet equally emphatic and real to the subject film, with the hope it would not only educate but give people a better understanding of just how debilitating living with a mental illness can be for both the sufferer and the carer alike – “A Day With …” film series was born.
The first film, A Day with Anxiety was well received by mental health professionals and film critics alike, and nominated for several film awards around the world. I am blessed to have a strong and loyal team of like-minded people working alongside me on this project, as we develop these short films further.

“A Day With an Eating Disorder” is a powerful and thought-provoking short film shaped by a series of films produced by Lynn Crilly and informed by her extensive professional expertise in the field of eating disorders. The film follows four individuals, each living with a different eating disorder, as they come together at a party overshadowed by bereavement. What should be a familiar social moment becomes emotionally charged as grief, social expectations and unspoken struggles begin to surface. Through everyday conversations and seemingly harmless comments around food, deeply personal battles are gradually exposed.
The story explores how eating disorders are often misunderstood, minimised or unintentionally triggered within social settings, and how moments of loss can intensify the need for control, safety and coping mechanisms. Moving beyond stereotypes, the film highlights that eating disorders are not simply about food. They are about identity, control, grief, survival and being seen — struggles that often exist quietly in plain sight.
