The Skinny is a dark comedy following an LA-based wannabe YouTube star named Jessie who struggles with her boyfriend, overbearing mom, and bulimia, 10 minutes at a time. From a Kickstarter campaign to a six-episode Refinery 29 and Wifey.tv miniseries, creator and star Jessie Kahnweiler’s journey through life, love, and friendship is touching and sincere, finding the humor even in her eating disorder. With help from executive producer Jill Soloway (creator of Transparent), The Skinny brings to light the issue of body dysmorphia in an approachable way—one that makes you laugh (and occasionally cringe).
