The Outsider on Youtube!



Today is a great day of discovery for OneWayTV, and hopefully you our readers.

Thanks to Snagfilms, you can now see The Outsider in full for free on Youtube!

Our friend Nickolas Jarecki directed a funny and cool film for us to watch about some more friends of ours (a few appear in this film). But we wont drop names (who cares anyway?).

From Bugsy to Two Girls and a Guy, you know his movies, but may not know the man behind them. This documentary about James Toback is very entertaining and informative. With only a partial script and 12 days to shoot a feature film, we learn a lot about what it takes to be a director who "makes things happen".

The best scenes show Toback actually directing the actors, demonstrating the difference between directing and micro-managing. There are some great anecdotes from "celebrity guests", and a lot of great insight from Toback's good friend Robert Downey, Jr., who has been in quite a few Toback pictures. (The Pick-up Artist, Two Girls and a Guy, Black & White to name a few). Don't miss the story of how Toback's agent first met him.

You can now watch the full feature film HERE.
