In Joe Lo Truglio‘s feature film directorial debut Outpost, Beth Dover stars as a woman on the edge. She’s just barely survived an assault by her ex and she wants to run as far away from her problems as humanly possible. So she decides to become a volunteer fire lookout. But those wide open spaces and fresh air don’t quite bring the healing she’s looking for… Lo Truglio’s first foray into directing is violent and challenging, teetering on the edge of exploitation, while offering an opportunity for fascinating conversations about portrayals of trauma and unlikeable women.

Read the full synopsis:

After a violent assault, a woman asks her best friend for help escaping an abusive ex. She’s given a job as a fire lookout in the mountains of northern Idaho, hoping the peaceful solitude will heal her trauma. But the PTSD and isolation have other plans, and it’s suddenly a fight to save herself and the town.

Dread Central spoke with Lo Truglio and Dover about their challenging new film, crafting an unlikeable female character, and more.
