“Outsiders” By Grace Parry
Synopsis
An aspiring actress is forced to question the lengths she will go to on her quest to be seen.
Directors statement
'Outsiders' follows the life of an actress desperate to find her place in the world. It carries the message that beneath everything, we all just want to be seen.
A year ago I had reached a tipping point. I couldn’t wait for the ‘cavalry' to come and save me any longer. As an actor you are fed the story that someday 'someone will see your potential' and you'll immediately be 'snapped up', which can leave you with this overwhelming feeling of desperation and helplessness. You feel caught in a waiting game, relying on other people to hopefully 'see' your hunger, talent and passion and declare it worthy enough. This is what led me to write Outsiders.
A hugely personal project, I tried to capture that feeling as truthfully as I could. The whole process of writing, producing, directing and acting became an incredible opportunity for me to step into my own personal power. I made sure to move intentionally throughout the whole process and my number one priority was to make it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
There is one word which best summarizes the film: HIREAETH - which means a deep inborn sense of yearning for a home, a feeling or a place beyond this plane of existence. Many of us feel like an Outsider at various points of our lives, but I believe that beneath the pain lies the calling to step into more of who we truly are.
