Exile is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Jason James and had its film festival premiere in 2022.[1] The film stars Adam Beach as Ted Evans, a man who's just been released from prison after serving a five-year sentence for killing a family in a drunk driving incident. Before his release, he receives a threat from the lone survivor that his own family will be killed in retaliation. Ted exiles himself in order to protect them, however, his wife Sara (Camille Sullivan) tracks him down, believing the threat was a manifestation of her husband's profound guilt, and she uses extreme measures to bring him home.[2]

The film was shot in late 2021 in Powell River, British Columbia.[3]

It premiered on December 1, 2022 in the Borsos Competition program at the 2022 Whistler Film Festival.[4]
