Independent filmmaking is about more than just creating a compelling story—it’s about finding ways to connect that story with audiences around the world. For The Way Out, translation has been a critical step in preparing for our independent film distribution, allowing us to reach new viewers across cultural and linguistic barriers.
A special shoutout goes to Emmy, who portrayed Mom in the film, for helping us craft the Tagalog translation! Her involvement ensured that the translation captured the nuances of the Filipino culture and language so essential to the story.
For the remaining six languages, we relied on Amazon Translate, a tool that helped us efficiently translate captions into widely spoken languages. This process has been about more than technical accuracy—it’s been about maintaining the heart and authenticity of the film’s narrative for every viewer, no matter where they’re from.
Languages that The Way Out Will Be Available In:
(Captions, subject to streamer availability)
English
Tagalog
Vietnamese
Indonesian
French
Spanish

These translations do more than make The Way Out accessible—they open doors to international markets we may not have considered before. By ensuring the film is available in multiple languages, we’ve broadened its reach, inviting audiences worldwide to experience Aurora’s powerful journey.
Distribution for independent films is never one-size-fits-all. Translating The Way Out has been a vital part of ensuring our story resonates with a diverse audience and allows us to share its universal themes of resilience and family across borders.
We’re excited for viewers to see The Way Out in a language that speaks to them! Visit our Where to Watch page to find out when & where the film is streaming and experience Aurora’s story for yourself.
