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 lonely as 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 who couldnt care less if Lily was

- Dead or alive. Which means that Lily (Claire Graham) has to face life threatening decisions on her own.

Synopsis Today is Wednesday 16th October, 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 am going to adapt, when I cant even ta ke 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 young is completely out of the picture. I need a way out!
