UK FILM REVIEW:

Having already tackled a diverse range of subjects such as rivalling ballet dancers, romance clashing with obligation in 18th century America and a young woman inheriting her late grandmothers dream interpreting business, highly-accomplished New York writer/director Victoria deMartin is back with yet another example of her incredible versatility as a filmmaker and storyteller.

INDIE SHORTS MAG:

To those unfamiliar with Victoria DeMartin’s work, it does not take more than a few seconds into Skindiving to recognise that this is the work of an accomplished artist. The 18-minute film follows Caitlin (Laura Piccoli), effortlessly conveying her inner state through striking, evocative visuals in a way that makes words unnecessary, and the film does indeed make dialogue a secondary concern.
