2012 Sundance Predictions: Frankie Latina’s Skinny Dip

Date:

#57. Skinny Dip – Frankie Latina 

What will be a sure fire hit only the fantasy film circuit, Frankie Latina’s Skinny Dip a vigilante grindhouse pic stands a great chance at playing in Sundance’s Park City at Midnight section due to the Danny Trejo effect (the actor was in Latina’s debut film Modus Operandi), Pam Grier and the fact that co-star Sasha Grey made the switchover to film in Soderbergh’s Sundance bowed The Girlfriend Experience.

Gist: After being dared to go skinny dipping in stormy waters, a buttoned up Holly Haven loses her glasses, washes up at the wrong bonfire and finds herself the unwitting centerpiece of the local football team’s yearly “freshman initiation” – one that results in the unfortunate death of her boyfriend. When a female motorcycle cop shows up on the scene, Holly assumes justice will be served.

Producers: Nicholas Shumaker (Another Earth) Gilbert Trejo and Jack Turner
