ABOUT MY SKIN AND I (with Co-Director Fiona Guy Hall)

A son watches as his father, an exiled Nicaraguan music producer, plots revenge for his unjust imprisonment and expulsion. The child exists in a waking dream, and through his gaze, the film blends past, present, and the narrative of its own making.
