The Skin I'm In is a 2012 autobiographical documentary film that was produced, directed, shot, and edited by American filmmaker, scholar, and professor Broderick Fox. The film had its world premiere at the 2012 Byron Bay Film Festival and had its United States premiere at the Arizona International Film Festival, [1] where it was awarded a Special Jury Award for Best Personal Filmmaking. [2] The film was released on streaming on October 1, 2013 through The Orchard.
Fox was inspired to create the film after an incident in 2005 where Fox was discovered on some subway tracks in the Berlin subway with head trauma and a blood alcohol level of 0.47. [4] The incident prompted Fox to document his personal journey to explore himself, spirituality, and his art. [4] The film was shot in five countries and includes collaborations with Canadian first nations artist Rande Cook and African-American artist Zulu to create a full back tattoo to memorialize the journey. [5]
The Times Colonist gave a favorable review for The Skin I'm In, praising Fox for his honesty in the film and stating that the collaboration with Cook and Zulu was one of the film's highlights. [6]
