Absurdly comic, highly kinetic, and at times quite emotional, The Outsider gives a very inside look at what it means to be a filmmaker. The film follows legendary writer/director James Toback through the insane making of his recent thriller When Will I Be Loved starring Neve Campbell. All phases of Toback's wild filmmaking journey are chronicled as he shoots his movie in 12 days without a script and battles to get it distributed. Candid interviews with Woody Allen, Robert Downey, Jr., Mike Tyson, Brooke Shields, Harvey Keitel, Norman Mailer, Barry Levinson and more reveal the complex life and work of this compulsive gambler and exceptional film talent.
