Skin Deep

Award winning Director Alex Koyama is poised to make her next feature--a film about love, obsession and trendy tattoos. She's charming, charismatic, and has a competent, sexy lover Montana, who doubles as her assistant. When Alex places an ad for a production assistant in a tattoo magazine, young, transgender Chris responds. Alex sees potential for research and enters into a disturbing power-game with Chris. Ignoring warnings from Montana, Alex allows Chris' infatuation with her to spiral out of control. The consequences are tragically drawn out as the drama of Alex's own life supersedes her created fiction. Skin Deep peels away the layers of a person's identity as it leads the viewer into worlds where people are never what they appear to be.
