Where was Skinamarink filmed?
Skinkamarink was filmed in the director’s childhood home inside Edmonton, Alberta, Canada during early 2022. It was shot in a tight budget of $15k when most of the money was collected through crowdfunding, minimal cast and crew were hired with Jamie McRae himself as the cinematographer.
Edmonton is the capital city of Alberta province of Canada situated on the North Saskatchewan River and is known as Gateway to the North. The capital city is the centre of the Edmonton Metropolitan Region surrounded by Alberta’s central region.
A lot of props were borrowed from the Film and Video Arts Society of Alberta (FAVA), the society aims to provide aid to independent filmmakers. Director Kyle shared that he wrote the script while keepiing his childhood home in mind and during the shoot, he didn’t try to make it personal because it already was.
The film appears to be an old movie because dialogues were recorded on an old microphone and the setting is so much relatable with the 70s. The iconic cartoons shown in the movie gives a nostalgic feeling to the viewer and the toys featured in the movie belong to director.
