## Resource

Alice Maio Mackay made her first feature film at 16. By 20, she had six. The latest, The Serpent's Skin, follows Anna, a young trans woman who flees her transphobic hometown and falls for Gen, a goth tattoo artist with a gift for the supernatural. Mike talks with Mackay about the making of the film, her approach to genre filmmaking, and what drives one of the most prolific young voices in independent cinema.
