Skinamarink is a Canadian experimental supernatural horror film written and directed by Kyle Edward Ball in his feature-length directorial debut.[
Before the production of the film, Kyle Edward Ball ran a YouTube channel where he would upload videos based on nightmares recounted by commenters. His 2020 short film Heck was developed as a proof of concept for Skinamarink.
The film was shot digitally in Kyle Edward Ball’s childhood home in Edmonton, Canada.
