Director Statement

Skinjacker is a film about loneliness and what we have to do about it - a cautionary Romantic Sci-Fi with a dark twist. It's played brilliantly by Jamie Pigott and Emily Tucker whose chemistry smoulders and whose subtle comic badinage gives this short film texture, deftness, and sincerity - making it both touching and sinister.
