The Outsider received an enormous amount of love at the 2024 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland. The crowd at our screening was fun and responsive, and the Q&A afterward was a blast. What moved me most was learning how the subtler elements of the story - the ones I love and never expect anyone to notice - landed differently for different people. It even inspired fan art.
While we were there, we learned The Outsider had been officially selected for more festivals around the continent: Weird Film Fest in Oakland, California (October 28, 2024, at the wonderfully couch-filled New Parkway Theater); FOGFEST in Newfoundland and Labrador for its International premiere (November 7–12, 2024); and the Buried Alive Horror Film Festival in Atlanta, Georgia for its Southeastern US premiere (November 7–10, 2024).
I couldn’t attend all of them, but I’m honored The Outsider screened at exactly the kind of festivals I’d want to attend myself.
