Hi! I'm Caroline Aylward, the creator of Get A Helmet + the GAH Podcast. With the incredible help of womxn in my community here in Boston, I am shooting a film on December 7th called In This Body. I am passionate about storytelling, empowering womxn, the medicine that moving our bodies provides and creating space for humans everywhere to be exactly who they are. Over the past 6 months, I have used my podcast as a platform to do research on the topics of Body Positivity, Body Image Issues, Body Dysmorphia, Eating Disorders and Self-Worth as a whole -- specifically as it pertains to womxn. This short film is dedicated to womxn's bodies, empowerment, self-worth and confidence. It is an offering to soften the harsh, judgmental voices in our heads that tell us that our bodies aren't good enough. It is an invitation to reconnect to our power and home within. We live in a time where weight equates to worth and a gap between our thighs is worth more than the soul behind our eyes. We are taught to believe that our bodies are broken when in fact they are powerful temples that hold our consciousness. This is an acknowledgment of all of the progress that has been made and a resistance towards diet culture at the same time. This is an unapologetic step towards living free from shame. Rather than trying to "fix", change and alter the body, this film's intention is to create space for all womxn to be present in their body, exactly how as it is right here in this moment. We will use these funds to feed our cast + crew, provide them with safe transportation, prepare the location for our shoot day, insure the safety of our cast, crew + equipment, additional rentals and to submit this magical piece to festivals all over. Our goal is to spread this message as far and wide as possible.
