True Skin, a 2012 short film that looks something like tech on steroids amidst a futuristic depiction of Bangkok’s red light district, has now been optioned by Amazon Studios to be made into a series.
Written and directed by Stephan Zlotescu, the short was previously picked up by Warner Brothers less than a week after it showed on the web. Warner Bothers lost the rights and Amazon quickly stepped in.
And congrats to Stephan!

Amokrane is a taxi driver, working one Christmas night. After losing her car, Kahina gets into his cab. She’s in a hurry to meet her daughter, who’s at her estranged husband’s house. But they don’t get there in time. Amokrane soon realizes his passenger is a former Algerian pop star who he thought had died.
So begins a strange night of wandering and confrontation. With this first fictional feature, adapted from his own play, Bachir Bensaddek has made a captivating film, a portrait of Montreal’s Muslim community in all its diversity, depth and complexity. Tender and lucid, Montréal la blanche asks frank, important questions about identity and integration, while introducing two engaging actors: Rabah Aït Ouyahia and Karina Aktouf.
Props to Bachir and Stéphane Tanguay at Productions Kinesis!
