ENVY the documentary

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Welcome to ENVY the documentary blog!

We now expect to be posting here pretty often about the progress of the latest exciting project from Out of The Blue Films, Inc.

We’ll share the ups and downs behind-the-scenes during the making of this groundbreaking new doc.  We’ll also pass on interesting anecdotes from what we are learning about the causes and consequences of ENVY along the way.

And we want to converse with you personally about your experiences with ENVY and this film project as we create it.

Please add us to your rss feed and/or check back often.

I’m Julia, the associate producer and assistant editor on ENVY and I’d like to start by introducing our bloggers on Team ENVY.

This project was launched by award-winning filmmaker Barbara Rick, the director/ producer/ writer.  She’ll be blogging on here as we go along…

You’ll also hear from Lauren: the researcher and production assistant and

Hannah: our outreach and marketing coordinator.

And there will be other surprise guests ahead.

Thanks to Hannah we now have a Facebook page devoted to ENVY—so please fan us: http://tinyurl.com/ENVYonFacebook And you can follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ENVYthedoc

We have just completed the first visual for the documentary, our postcard:

You’re So Skinny, I Hate You

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

I cannot tell you how often I have heard those words. Sometimes directed at me, sometimes to colleagues, friends or clients. How does the person speaking those words even begin to think they are a compliment? I hate you is NEVER a compliment. But the true basis of this remark, is of course, envy. It is envy and it is fear. Why did weight become the thing to hate or envy? It is mind boggling to me.

As a Body Image Mentor, I am privileged to guide others out of the prison that eating disorders, food addiction, obesity and poor body image build. As a person, I am privileged to have been on BOTH sides of that prison cell. I was an overweight kid, an overweight teen, and an overweight adult. After losing over 100 pounds in my twenties, I have created a life dedicated to health, fitness and building JOY around those things. No Shame. No Blame. No Envy.

A discussion about envy has been long overdue – and why we don’t inspire and encourage one another instead.

I look forward to a long and vibrant discussion here.

Sincerely, Laura Fenamore, CPCC, Body Image Mastery Mentor

Oh, no, not again!!

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Dear me, here we go again.  Another perfectly normal human emotion under siege!!  But then again, we know since biblical times at least (though shalt not covet- yada, yada, yada) poor “envy” has had to face down constant attacks on its valuable function in human social intercourse.  Non-pathological envy is merely that feeling that people get when they see or experience something that someone else has that they want.  How wonderful!!  Seeing my friend, Ellen,  chewing Bazooka bubble gum and blowing bubbles when I was five years old I was envious, for sure.  That envy allowed me to go home and tell my parents that I wanted some Bazooka bubble gum for myself and when I got it and blew my own bubbles I was very happy.  That may be one of the earliest conscious memories I had of envy until my own analysis revealed earlier experiences that were more traumatic because I did not have the language or emotional maturity to process them properly.  And, of course, had my parents handled my expressed envy of Ellen’s bubble gum differently it might have developed into pathological envy, which is the source, essentially, of war.  But therein lies the difference, and I hope this blog and documentary will clearly explicate the same.
