OUTCAST
Director: Gabriella Said
With Claire Graham, Maxine
Said, Chanel Adjei, Josh Atille
Certificate
The hideous thing is this: I want
to forgive him. Even after
everything, I do. A baby before my
16th birthday and a future as lonelyas the surface of the moon and still
the sight of him feels like a
homecoming, like a song I used to
know but somehow forgot
This realist drama is set in present
day, in a council estate located in
Roundshaw, England. When we
first meet Lily (Claire Graham),
she looks like an ordinary 15 year
old, living an ordinary teenage life.
However, there is something we
dont know about her. In the
beginning Lily introduces herself
to the audience as a very dull and
depressed character, where she
soon later on reveals that she is
pregnant. Gabriella Saids latest
film Outcast takes us back to her
previous feature film Athlete that
she made last year (2012).
Both of her films have the same
sort of idea and issues relating to
young teenagers going through a
hard patch where there is
something big stopping them
from making a decision that
could possibly change their life
forever. In Athlete character
Josh (Josh Atille) was alone
within the decisions he was
making as his mother had passed
away and his father had
neglected him as wasnt in the
scene. On the other hand, in her
new release Outcast Lilys
father isnt in the scene but her
mother is an estate junkie whocouldnt care less if Lily was
Synopsis Today is Wednesday 16thOctober, the sun is hidden and grey clouds are
rolling in. The weather contrasts with my mood, I am in need of some effective help.
Loneliness, independence and vulnerable are the words that describe my inner feelings
right now. This has left me with low self-esteem and to be struggling at this precise
moment. This unwanted disaster has crashed at the early stages of my life. Of course I
wouldnt plan something like this, it was a mistake. Being pregnant has affected me
mentally and physically, leaving my thoughts blank not knowing what to do? I mean
bringing a new generation into this world requires experience and a willingness to take
on many new responsibilities.I am too young for this situation I dont know how I amgoing to adapt, when I cant even take this into account within my own life. I have seen
a lot of teenage girls that thought they could handle having a child so young, which has
now led them to adoption or bad parenting. This has doubted me to even think about
trying, I have made a promise to myself, to my family, to my friends that I am going to
try and be successful through my lifetime and having a child this youngis completely
out of the picture. I need a way out!
- Dead or alive. Which
means that Lily (Claire
Graham) has to face life
threatening decisions on
her own.
