Jasmine Curtis-Smith attends Sundance Film Festival with 'In My Mother's Skin' team

Jasmine Curtis-Smith is currently in Park City, Utah in the United States for the Sundance Film Festival.

Her film, "In My Mother's Skin," is one of the entries under the festival's Midnight section and it is the only foreign language film in the lineup.

Directed and written by Kenneth Dagatan, the film also stars Beauty Gonzales, Felicity Kyle Napuli, James Mavie Estrella, Angeli Bayani, Arnold Reyes, Ronnie Lazaro, and Noel Sto Domingo.

Jasmine and Beauty, together with the "In My Mother's Skin" team, attended Sundance to raise the flag for Philippine cinema.

"In My Mother's Skin" takes place in the Philippines during World War II when a girl finds that her obligation to protect her dying mother is complicated by her misplaced trust in a flesh-eating fairy. Jasmine plays the fairy.

The production team described it as "a fusion of physical body horror, suffocating tone, and psychological trauma. It is about hope that we will overcome physical and supernatural forces through human compassion."

"In My Mother's Skin" is a Philippine-Singapore-Taiwan co-production with Epicmedia, Zhao Wei Films, Volos Films and Clover Films, supported by the Film Development Council of the Philippines, Singapore Film Commission, and Taiwan Creative Content Agency.
