We’ve heard your many requests to see Your Fat Friend. We’re working hard to bring our independent film, to as many people as possible, as widely as we can. 

Alongside festival screenings we are planning to tour the film and qualify for the Oscar, before going to streaming. 

In order to bring this truly independent film to more people, we need your help.

We know there are a lot of things you could be spending your money on right now, and that the holidays can be a tough time - whether you’re spending them with your family, with other people or alone.  

Your support is greatly appreciated.

FAQ

I WANT TO DONATE MORE

You can donate directly on our website www.yrfatfriendfilm.com

Any and all donations are very gratefully received and will go towards the theatrical and streaming release of Your Fat Friend, so that more people in more places can see the film. Thank you, we appreciate your support

I CAN’T AFFORD $25 BUT I REALLY WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS 

This is primarily a fundraiser but we have a limited number of tickets available for those experiencing hardship. Please complete the contact form on www.yrfatfriendfilm.com to request a ticket.

I‘VE ALREADY SEEN THE FILM, CAN I JUST ATTEND THE LIVE EVENT?

You are very welcome to attend, but the cost is the same - this is primarily a fundraising event for the theatrical release

CAN I SHARE THE LINK TO VIEW THE FILM?

You will be sent a unique link which is non transferable. But you can use that link to watch the film as many times as you like, and you can watch with your friends or family.

CAN I TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS?

We’d love you to spread the word and get more people to see the film though, so please share the Kinema link!

CAN YOU MAKE THE FILM AVAILABLE TO STREAM FOR EVERYONE, NOW?

We have some exciting plans in the pipeline that mean, due to legal rights constraints, we are unable to stream the film more widely, for now. But those constraints do allow us to sell tickets to an “at home, cinema-like experience.” So we’re doing just that!

We made the film to show in cinemas first, because it deserves to be seen on the big screen. We have been challenging cinemas and theaters to consider the needs of fat audiences, through making seat sizing visible and taking part in an access audit.

If you would like to organise your own online watch party or a community / educational / cinema screening, get in touch! Use the contact form on our website www.yrfatfriendfilm.com

About the film

Made over 6 years, acclaimed director Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of writer and activist Aubrey Gordon from anonymous blogger to NYTimes best selling author and beloved podcaster. Her aim? A paradigm shift in the way we see fat people and the fat on our own bodies. Her life changing work has brought her an ardent, international audience but also threats to her life. One of her biggest challenges is getting her parents to listen.Your Fat Friend, a film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the deep, messy feeling we hold about our bodies.
