OTHER EXITS

Sunday 16th January, 2011

There was never any real discussion about what our film would be called. It was always EXIT; nothing else made sense.

'Exit' isn't exactly an unpopular title in cinema, though. There's a Swiss documentary on euthanasia from 2005, a Swedish thriller starring Alexander Skarsgård from 2006, and at least a dozen short films from around the world - often horrors, thrillers, maybe science fiction - all called Exit.

(And now, of course, the massive success of Bansky's documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop has ruined any chance we had of showing up on the first page of an internet search for the immediate future.)

The best other Exit, though, is a direct-to-video erotic thriller from 1996 about a burglary of a strip club. Its IMDB keywords are as follows:

Stripper; Strip Club; Female Nudity; Erotica; Beautiful Woman; Independent Film.

How can we compete with that?
