EXIT offers an escape from the doomsday thinking that is ruining our collective imaginations. An experience for smartphones composed of a suite of interconnected nonfiction stories, EXIT dares users to entertain a shocking possibility: that mankind may survive (and even thrive) beyond the challenges that await us in the future.
Set in an apocalypse-obsessed United States, EXIT chronicles the journey of married Dutch-American filmmakers Jongsma + O'Neill as they struggle to come to terms with their existential fears that are unleashed when they become new parents. "Are you terrified to bring children into our dirty, crowded world?" the doc asks. "Is your mind burdened by dystopian scenarios both realistic (overpopulation, drone warfare) and fantastical (the Revelation)?" This struggle propels the couple on a cross-country trip where they encounter a wild collection of misfits and geniuses who have found their own form of peace with an uncertain, and potentially disastrous, tomorrow.
