Empire Waist: Confirmed Theaters 🎟️

We have 114 theaters on board for September 27th. Let's pack the house!

Two great things before we hop in:

—My development blog post for The Black List is now live! I break down my unorthodox (but very effective) development path that helped secure my funding for this film.
—We have a VERY FUN event in NYC this Thursday evening for the film. RSVP here!

---

Alright, Empire Waist fam & friends — THIS is the post to forward and share as we approach the September 27th premiere of EMPIRE WAIST! I’ll be updating this post with confirmed theaters as I get them.

Live or have friends near the cities below? Spread the word and prepare for tickets to go on sale early next week!

And remember: Our Empire Waist Confidence Curriculum — our free and vetted curriculum on body image and self-confidence — will go live on September 27th, too! Spread the word with families, educators, community orgs, and friends 💜
