Skin Deep
The comedy that glows in the dark.
Directed by Blake Edwards
Produced by Morgan Creek Entertainment, Beco Films
A darkly comedic character study of a dissolute writer's self-destructive spiral through alcohol and casual relationships, balanced between satirical humor and genuine melancholy.
Hard-drinking novelist Zach Hutton spirals out of control after his wife and mistress both leave him. Alone and crippled by a bad case of writer's block, Zach slips in and out of casual relationships and one-night stands, while his drinking becomes more and more severe. With the help of a bartender and his therapist, Zach confronts his demons — women and alcohol.
