Director’s statement
​
The story of Outsiders is very personal to me. During my teenage years I became a part of streetball community in Lithuania. Streetball gave a sense of direction and a way to express myself when I was growing up. I would spend days on a basketball court, sharing ideas with other young people and feeling like I belong. It bonded us over the years shaping strong friendships. Streetball made me into creation-driven individual that I am today.
