Follow on Google News | iaedp Rolling Out the Red Carpet for “America the Beautiful: Body Mass Index”The premiere of Darryl Roberts’ sequel about body image debuts at the 2011 iaedp Annual Symposium
By: Danielle Bickelmann Since his first documentary’ Darryl spent five years working on “America the Beautiful,” which took a deep look into how Americans link beauty with health, and obsess over outward appearances. He followed then 12-year old supermodel Gerren Taylor as she made it big, before being criticized at age 14 for being obese (at a size 4). During those five years of critical research, Darryl spoke with 200 women, of which only two said they felt beautiful; a statistic that showed just how severe America’s misconception of beauty had become. While the information he gathered wasn’t necessarily new, it did highlight a more personal side and ill-conceived mindset of the magazine and cosmetic industry, showing that the worse a woman feels about her looks, the better it is for their business. Darryl Roberts is the President of Sensory Overload Entertainment and an established writer, producer and director. He first won critical acclaim for “How U Like Me Now,” an independent film about relationships in the 90′s. Darryl began his career as an on-air personality for radio station WKKC-FM, in Chicago.
