The World Premiere at the Byron Bay Film Festival was extraordinary. Screening was a fundraiser for ACON, Australia’s leading LGBT health service organization.

This sensibility, along with the spirituality and connectedness of Byron made this a pretty unbelievable place to launch the journey of THE SKIN I’M IN.
