The Chris Project

paul skidmore is an author and filmmaker in Tennessee. he's the author of short stories "kindling", "ciao bella", and "the darkness rolled over her", and a novel — God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

in 2020, he adapted "the darkness rolled over her" into a feature film, which is expected to be released in early 2025. the film was produced on a modest budget with a small, but passionate crew, and skidmore hopes the film will have a big impact — saving lives, making friends for life, and encouraging everyone to "keep movin'". an ebook of the short story is available for free today, along with a fun discussion guide at fivecoffeesandabook.com. read the story with a friend and talk about it.

his friends call him "skidmore" or "skid", and yes, he'd love to have coffee with you.
