豆知識

Skeet is a 2024 Canadian drama film written and directed by Nik Sexton. The film stars Sean Dalton as Billy Skinner, a stereotypical Newfoundland skeet from St. John's who is trying to make a fresh start after a stint in prison. He befriends Mohamed, a recent refugee from the Syrian civil war who is learning to adapt to Newfoundland society. The film received nominations at the 2024 Atlantic International Film Festival and the 13th Canadian Screen Awards.

Production

Sexton stated that the film was initially set out to be "a really dark [...] Newfoundland noir film," but the plot significantly changed when he met some refugees in a low-income housing area while location scouting. As the film focuses on the experiences of a refugee in St. John's, Syrian Newfoundlander Eyad Sakkar was hired a story consultant; he had suggested that Abdo take on the role of Mohamed.

The film was shot in 2023. While in Canada working on the film, Abdo spoke of the urgent need for international aid following the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquakes.
