Skip Tracer is a Canadian drama film, directed by Zale Dalen and released in 1977.[1] Dalen's feature-length directorial debut, the film was made for a budget of just $250,000 after Dalen and his wife Laara, the film's producer, decided that they were dissatisfied with their jobs and wanted to work in film.[2]
The film stars David Petersen as John Collins, a repo man who begins to regret his career choice after being paired with Brent Solverman (John Lazarus), a new trainee whose very different perspective on the job begins to trigger Collins' conscience.[1]
Petersen received a Canadian Film Award nomination for Best Actor,[3] and Dalen received the Wendy Michener Award for "most promising new talent", at the 1977 Canadian Film Awards.[4] In 1978, it became the first Canadian film ever selected for screening at the New York Film Festival.[2]
