Melanie Munt - Sundance Collab

I am a writer and an actor based in South Australia. I have been involved in the arts industry for about 20 years, having graduated from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in 2005, and have worked in Australia and the USA. My primary focus now is writing; I have completed a draft of a feature film and several episodes of a TV series. I hope to continue to learn about the craft of writing through courses, feedback, and peer experience.

Skin

When a young lawyer who hates his job, his life, and feels like an utter fraud, meets the photographer of a burlesque circus group, he begins a confronting journey of self-awareness and growth, discovering that outside appearances rarely reflect the truth of the person inside – we are not defined by the skin that covers us.
