Empire Waist: Claire Ayoub’s Journey of Self-Love, Filmmaking, and Fostering Resilience 🎬✨
Join us for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation with Claire Ayoub, the visionary writer, director, and producer behind the award-winning film Empire Waist. Claire takes us on her journey from penning personal essays for Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls to creating a comedy that champions self-love, body positivity, and the power of fashion.
We explore how she balanced comedy and personal healing in the creative process, the resilience it took to bring her dreams to life, and the collaborative spirit that made it all possible. From revisiting her love of swimming to navigating the challenges of independent filmmaking, Claire shares the ups and downs of turning her vision into reality. Plus, get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how this indie film came together with a cast and crew dedicated to empowerment and inclusivity.
