KNIVES & SKIN
Written & Directed by Jennifer Reeder
IN THEATERS AND VOD DECEMBER 6
KNIVES AND SKIN follows the investigation of a young girl’s disappearance in the rural Midwest, led by an inexperienced local sheriff. The ripple of fear and suspicion among the small-town residents destroys some relationships and strengthens others. This mystical teen noir presents coming of age as a life-long process and examines the profound impact of grief as the teenagers experience an accelerated loss of innocence while their parents are forced to confront adulthood failures.
