Production

Fox was inspired to create the film after an incident in 2005 where Fox was discovered on some subway tracks in the Berlin subway with head trauma and a blood alcohol level of 0.47.[4] The incident prompted Fox to document his personal journey to explore himself, spirituality, and his art.[4] The film was shot in five countries and includes collaborations with Canadian first nations artist Rande Cook and African-American artist Zulu to create a full back tattoo to memorialize the journey.[5]

Reception

The Times Colonist gave a favorable review for The Skin I'm In, praising Fox for his honesty in the film and stating that the collaboration with Cook and Zulu was one of the film's highlights.[6]
