Honestly I think that's important. When you have a short that has a HUGE plot device like that, which is the basis of the story, I don't think it's a good idea to give it away in a teaser/preview. He shows lots of drama, angst and racial tension, so there is a basic idea of what the story addresses and I personally wouldn't go any further. Of course he gave away the twist in the post LOL But it'll be interesting how he deals with the twist and how the audience receives it

damn wish i thought of idea it's one of those things you can just think of but it's so elusive, love the idea.

I saw a movie a long long time ago that was based on a similar idea. I want to say it starred C Thomas Howell (the guy who played Pony Boy in the Outsiders) and Rea Don Chong. But that's not the same movie I was thinking about.

Anyways..that main character looks like the white supremist character that Edward Norton played in "American History X." Is that where you got this idea...your lookalike friend? Curious to see how this turns out.

Ahah it's true! but i never thought that he looks like edward-norton-american-history-x until i had read your note! how it's possible?

anyway, i got the idea for "skin" in a period when i was totally without any ideas...so i made a short called "idea" ( http://www.vimeo.com/6658627 ) which narrate myself with no one ideas, i generated characters without any sense until it's arrived skin's idea. so i eliminated all of them. in the movie, obviously :grin:

sorry for my english, i hope you understand me
