Skins series 2 trailer, Director: Neil Gorringe. Art director: Alice Tonge. Production designers: Carl Sprague and Skyhook. Production company: 4Creative.
Skins, the Channel 4 teen drama series which is guaranteed to make you feel that your own adolescence was extremely banal and provincial, is back with a second series next month, and its return is marked by this moody, cinematic trailer. The film is directed by Neil Gorringe, who was also behind the first trailer for the programme, yet in contrast to the upbeat, party atmosphere of that trail, this one suggests that the lives of the Skins protagonists have got very dark indeed. CR talked to Gorringe about making the film.
