Bulking Up (Short film)

Whenever image-conscious Danny faces himself in the mirror, he is crippled by what he sees. After yet another failed audition and inspired by the glossy posts of a social media fitness influencer he decides to bulk up and takes on a gruelling twelve-week fitness regime. 

Four thousand calories a day.

High weight, low reps.

Eat big, get big. 

No pain, no gain.

Bulking Up is a short film about muscle dysmorphia and men's mental health. We follow our protagonist Danny (Micky David) as he battles with the perception of his own appearance, whilst his world starts to falls apart.
