Skettel follows a young Jamaican-American, Marley, and the adversary she deals with in her everyday life and the raunchy nightclub she works at to care for her special needs son. The narrative is based on the director’s life in 2010 in Atlanta, where she had to work in a rowdy East Atlanta nightclub as a bottle girl to help her mother with bills and take care of her neurodivergent toddler. The film takes a trippy and surrealistic approach, exploring different themes and the nuances of being Jamaican and American. It also brings a fresh perspective to a sub-culture of the South - bottle girl culture. At the core, it's a survival story about a young mother who feverishly desires to preserve herself without compromising her child's wellbeing.
