Under My Skin


by Mary Dedes

About the Project

"Under My Skin" reflects upon the effects of sexual harassment and violation, inspired by my own experiences with them. The invasive, predatory, grotesque, violent and hidden nature of insect activity is used to reflect that of inappropriate interactions. The film further intends to make light of this major issue that many people experience, in order to help people understand what it is, its effects on a person and the importance of speaking out about it.
