N/A

Synopsis:

After his family falls apart Joshua is forced to move to Canada to live with his estranged father. It is there he meets Jay, a local tattoo artist. The two becomes closer despite the negativity that surrounds them.

Quick Thoughts:

“Beneath The Skin” is a 2015 movie that appears to be the first undertaking by Aaron Ellis as not just the writer and co-director, but he then stars in the film as Joshua. He co-directed the movie with Michael McKinnley (who also stars in this movie as Zac.) I will note that this film was nominated for a few awards, even winning 4 of those. At present, the IMDB user rating is a 5.3/10. Personally, I gave it a 4. At best, I would call this a good effort – for a film student’s final product. Trying to rate “Beneath The Skin” any higher would be a disservice. Even with that, I’ve seen film student’s work that leaves this film miles behind others. Hopefully we see more from this directing duo – including more skill!
