In the margins of San Francisco, nonbinary gig worker Cass unexpectedly finds themselves caring for the child of a casual hook-up. When this small favour turns into a greater responsibility than Cass is used to, they are forced to reckon with the past they’ve tried to outrun.

Quietly powerful and emotionally layered, director Elena Oxman’s feature debut is a raw and nuanced portrayal of what it takes to care for a young person while healing your own inner child. Featuring an outstanding lead performance by Asia Kate Dillon (Billions, Orange Is the New Black). Outerlands premiered at SXSW 2025.

Screening in-person only.
