Set in Seattle, OUTSIDE examines the intersection of two lives: Ramzi, an agoraphobic young artist living a hermetic existence in his downtown apartment, and Ana, a lonely undergrad moonlighting as an escort as they begin an unlikely friendship and romance.
Acting
Tully and Wallizada's raw, vulnerable chemistry carries every scene.
Production
Micro-budget Seattle shooting feels authentically cramped and lived-in.
Director
Farahd Abdullah Wallizada
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Wallizada cast himself as Ramzi after struggling to find an actor who understood agoraphobia's physicality from lived experience.
The film's 2.5 TMDB rating reflects algorithmic burying of queer micro-budget indies more than actual viewer reception—it's developed a small passionate following on Letterboxd.
