Real Big Hits' Vice President of Acquisitions Scott Kamins said "LITLE MISS PERFECT struck me as a powerfully honest portrait of the havoc eating disorders can have on teenagers, especially in the face of dealing with all the pressure, uncertainty, and insecurity of the modern high school experience. There is a raw emotional power and natural aspect to Marlee Roberts' filmmaking that inspired me to acquire this film and play an important part in helping to spread awareness regarding an issue that is profoundly misunderstood and stigmatized in society. I am extremely proud of this film and the wonderful talent that brought Marlee's vision to life."
