From the director of cult classics Punks and CREATOR OF LOGO-TV NETWORKS: Noah's Ark, comes the much-anticipated third feature film from Patrik-Ian Polk The Skinny, a sharply scripted comedy about a group of four young, black, gay men Magnus (JUSSIE SMOLLETT –in attendance), Sebastian, Kyle, Joey and their lesbian BFF, Langston. They arrange to meet up in New York City one year after their graduation from Brown University. Their plans for a weekend of fun start off well, relaxed in each other's company as only old friends can be. Drinking, friendly boyfriend stalking at a sex party, drugs, hidden desire and the demands of promiscuity put friendship, trust and even lives at risk. In between sharp one-liners and a great soundtrack the fierce cast find important lessons that these pleasure-seekers must learn for themselves. Look out for cameos by WILSON CRUZ (HRFF 2010 Honoree) and DARRYL STEPHENS (“NOAH’S ARC” “BOY CULTURE” HRFF’06) 

Remaining true to his past work, Polk addresses issues in The Skinny that face the LGBT community such as date-rape, infidelity, and HIV/AIDS awareness.
