Great Canyon is a live-action / animated hybrid which chronicles a queer first date through the lens of the anxieties and insecurities that exude from the main character. The morning after hooking up, two recent college grads wrestle with their feelings for each other while a strange and inexplicable phenomenon creeps up in the background. In a chance encounter on Grindr, a reclusive barman at an Arkansas line-dancing bar connects with a charismatic Hollywood actor; the sheer force of their chemistry pushes him to question the isolated life he has built for himself. Gay and lonely, Lloyd is on a shame-fuelled, Grindr-addicted spiral into tragedy. Skin is a poetic exploration of identity and self-discovery, using visual symbolism to depict a woman's transformation into a man.
