EATING DISORDERS IN CHILDREN HAVE DOUBLED. THE ALGORITHM IS WHY. The Wrestler is a hand-crafted short film from ANAD that exposes how social media algorithms fuel eating disorders in children. Every day, kids encounter nearly 3,000 algorithm-driven posts. For those at risk, personalized feeds don't just distort body image — they amplify the inner critic until it becomes impossible to ignore. The film follows a child wrestling with the compounding pressures of influencer culture, peer comparison, and societal expectations — and shows what it takes to fight back. Its closing truth: eating disorders are something people can wrestle with for life. Recovery isn't a finish line. It's showing up for yourself, again and again. A VISUAL LANGUAGE BUILT TO MAKE THE INVISIBLE UNDENIABLE. The Wrestler uses a 3D/2D hybrid animation system to visualize what clinicians and patients have struggled to articulate: the layered, compounding nature of an eating disorder in the social media age. 3D provides physical weight and fight realism. Hand-crafted 2D textures restore human fragility. THE MONSTER DESIGN Each monster is an emotional metaphor. A faceless social media entity. A lettuce monster for daily obsessions. A final amalgamated female silhouette that reveals the true opponent: herself. THE RESULT Every shot — scale, pacing, color, chromatic aberration — was designed around one question: what does this battle feel like from the inside? Koi Factory's visual language makes the answer impossible to look away from.
