NO OUTLET is a reinterpretation of Sartre's play No Exit. We live in a world filled with images of violence against the intellect of both women and men. Our culture is so suffused with violence we tend to forget how much we allow our intelligence to be insulted. We must begin to examine the absurdity of the extremes we are subject to. This film displaces scenes of violence from their original setting to show how absurd and oppressive cinematic violence is, and how the viewer can be led away from reality by displacing emotional integrity we would normally reserve for actual daily events.
