Bank heists. Family character drama. Twisted morality. If you like to see any of these elements at the movies, writer/director Kyle Kauwika Harris’s new film premiering at this year’s deadCenter Film Festival, Out of Exile, is a must-see. It’s a “one last job” crime thriller complete with impressively shot action setpieces grounded in family tragedy and a hope of redemption for the central character, Gabriel Russell (Adam Hampton), before FBI Agent Brett Solomon (Ryan Merriman) stops him in his tracks.
On today’s episode of The Cinematic Schematic, we sit down with Harris and three cast members, Adam Hampton, Hayley McFarland, and Kyle Jacob Henry, to discuss their experience making the film, including how the team trained for the various robbery scenes and found ways to build chemistry and comradery on set despite the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Out of Exile continues the tradition of a strong Oklahoma Feature Film category at this year’s festival and is easily one to bookmark in your schedule if you’re looking for something on the grittier side. Listen to the full conversation to get a taste of what to expect from Out of Exile, and see the movie by buying your festival pass or individual ticket today!

According to the deadCenter website, Out of Exile can be described as:
Recently released from prison, Gabriel Russell returns to work for his previous organized crime boss, Whitman Rader, by robbing armored cars and banks with the help of his brother, Wesley, an ex-Army Ranger suffering from post-traumatic stress and his best friend, Marcos, an illegal immigrant.
With the intent of saving enough money from each score, Gabriel secretly plans to leave behind a life of crime forever and hit the road out of town, but his plans change when he reconnects with his estranged daughter, who is suffering from physical abuse.
Gabriel soon discovers that his need to provide for his daughter’s well being is stronger than his own, but the stakes rise as Gabriel and his crew are being investigated by a determined FBI Agent who is hot on their trail.
