Film commentary
Hill and Diaz on film's theme
At a press day for Outcome in February, Hill described his film as "a metaphor for what we all go through living on social media." He said social media has made us obsessed what people we don't know think of us, instead of caring about what the people who know us best think of us. Diaz also called it "an interesting commentary about celebrity and how it functions in our society and what's expected."
