UNSKIN was shot in a total of 5 days, with 28 cast members, and filmed at 10 locations around London, ranging landmarks like London Bridge and The City, to iconic buildings like Trellick Tower and Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate.
All of the abducted characters each represent a planet in the solar system. The Hipster Couple represents Jupiter and Saturn, the Corporate Couple represent Neptune and Uranus, the Homeless Couple represent Mercury and Pluto, the Hoodlum is Mars and the Construction worker is Venus. The Hooded Figure itself represents the Moon, conveying a luminescent maternal figure who watches over the planetary mortals, dictating their gravitational pull, and through their metamorphosis, bringing the disparate planets closer together, shedding their pretensions to reveal their earthly skin, and transforming them from distant planets to a unified earth.
