On the Outs is a 2004 drama film co-directed by Lori Silverbush and Michael Skolnik. The film chronicles the lives of three young women in a Jersey City neighborhood and their struggles against the law and drugs. One girl is a 17-year-old drug dealer, another is a teenage drug addict with a child, and one is a teenager dealing with pregnancy. The film is based on actual case studies of young women interviewed by the filmmakers at the Hudson County Juvenile Detention Center.

Production

The stories of the central characters are directly based on interviews that Silverbush and Skolnik conducted with young women at the Hudson County Juvenile Detention Center in Secaucus. Silverbush, Skolnik, and Paola Mendoza spent 4 months at the facility working with the young women and developing the characters.

The film was shot in November 2003 in Jersey City. The crew welcomed members of the local community, including gang members and drug dealers, to help out or appear in the film.
