The Skinny
Director: Patrik-Ian Polk
The Skinny is a sharply scripted comedy about four young black gay men and their lesbian best friend. They arrange to meet up in New York City one year after graduating from Brown University. Their plans for a weekend of fun start well, relaxed in each other’s company as only old friends can be. But old tensions quickly resurface. Drinking, drugs, hidden desire, and promiscuity demands put friendship, trust, and even lives at risk.
