Curvalicious is a comedy about a spirited high schooler who takes on the fashion industry to become the world's first plus-sized teen supermodel.   It is billed as Ugly Betty meets Zoolander, and is a heart-warming story with a positive message for teenage girls.
 
The reading is the first in an as-yet-untitled series founded by Rodov and Carter to bring young writers' work to the attention of the entertainment industry.  Their focus is to present commercial comedies and dramas that can become studio movies.
