skip tracer is an oddball canadian film shot in vancouver during the late 1970's. despite its many merits (acting, atmosphere, subtext, score), the movie never caught on w/ a widespread audience and disappeared into the cinematic ether. though it did surface on VHS w/ an alternative title in the 1980's (deadly business), skip tracer has yet to see an official DVD release... oh yeah, it's about a repo man!!! it's good. heavy vibes...
be sure to catch a rare public screening of this unsung masterpiece at the pacific cinematheque tomorrow night (march 24, 7:00 pm) presented by notable CDN author michael turner (hard core logo) w/ a possible appearance from skip tracer lead actor, david petersen.
