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.[2] 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.

The film premiered at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival and was later screened in limited release on July 13, 2005. It won the Jury Special Prize at the Deauville Film Festival and the Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival.
