The immersive, slow-burn experience viewers get from “Skinamarink” is the antithesis of seconds-long videos seen on TikTok, a platform that helped create buzz for the low-budget Canadian horror film months before its release.
With long still shots of corners in a suburban home, it has the non-linear sensation of a dream. Viewers never see the characters’ faces and rarely hear them speak.
“They wanted to go for a kind of vintage 1970s celluloid film look,” says executive producer Edmon Rotea. “Skinamarink” was filmed over seven days in August 2021 with a budget of $15,000. The film has grossed more than $1.5 million since its premiere Jan. 13.“You don’t have to have state-of-the-art equipment,” says Rotea. “You don’t have to have the greatest actors, or the most talented cast and crew. You can do stuff on a budget.”
“Skinamarink” was shown at film festivals across North America and Europe last summer. One of the European festivals had online screenings and was hacked. “Skinamarink” was leaked online and became heavily pirated.
