Anticipation
The film SKIN comes in at 105 minutes. The final production script – the one that most precisely mirrors what appears in the final edited version of the film runs to 86 pages and about 160 scenes from a total of 198. The balance is made up on those scenes that were removed during the editing process. On the other hand the biography When She Was White including its bibliography and notes is 324 pages and includes much that does not appear in the film script.
