Private Project

The Other Skye

SKYE, a chronically ill outcast, lives in hiding just outside of this retro-futuristic America. The only thing keeping her alive is hope that she'll be cured and accepted back into a society and family she so desperately misses. Well… that and beans.

But when drag queen, VIRGINIA CURVE, shows up in the woods to self-terminate an unlikely friendship is formed. Skye is forced to consider a totally different kind of healing.

Director Biography - Abigail Mason, Nate J Anderson

Coming from an acting background, Abigail has had leads and guest-starred with FOX, WB, Comedy Central, Disney, Hallmark, ABC, etc. After graduating UCLA, her online IP was discovered by former CEO of NBC, Fred Silverman. Fred's deep belief in Abigail's comedic acting led them to develop a show together and helped Abigail realize that she loved comedy... and writing. This moved her to study with The Groundlings, performing and writing in sketch and improv comedy. She is about to enter the last level, advanced writing lab. She is currently an Emerson MFA graduate student in screenwriting. Having invisible disabilities, she loves to tell often untold perspectives.

With a diverse background in documentary filmmaking, and Camera/Steadicam operating on scripted projects, Nate J. Anderson is a passionate storyteller. His work as a cinematographer for VICE on HBO won him an Emmy. He was a Steadicam operator for the Cannes/Adam Driver musical, "Annette," the Sarah Michelle Gellar series, "Wolf Pack," the Netflix series, "Beauty in Black", amongst others. Partnering with his wife Abigail Mason (co-director and writer) to make The Other Skye has been an exciting new pursuit in filmmaking.

This is both Abigail and Nathan's directorial debut.
