The Outsider

The Outsider is a contemporary retelling of the famous novel by Albert Camus, set in Belfast, currently in pre-production. The main character is a guard on an army base and is accused of killing of a man following an accident with his personal protection weapon. With an experimental structure, it explores questions of double justice and the privatisation of the public space via the development of social media. Production is supported by Future Screens, as part of a research project into social media and storytelling.
