Skelton posted several photographs from behind the scenes of working on the film Row, which won Best UK Feature at the Raindance Film Festival, detailing the extreme filming environments: "We filmed in the middle of nowhere on a cliff edge in an old, abandoned navy base. The weather was something else."

Skelton extended heartfelt gratitude towards the emergency crews who came to their aid, stating: "Featuring pics from a day out surfing, the police officers and @pauly.mccluskey who helped Loks and me after the wreck, our epic cast and crew - who powered through 70+mph winds most days - and my bleached sea salt head of curls in full swing. @rowthefilm hits UK cinemas in August. Hope you enjoy the ride."

"Looking forward to someday seeing the film if/when it comes out in the US. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew for the win."
Point. blank_1959 commented: "Jeez! You're scaring me. It WAS bad luck, something good must be ahead for you."
