ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW
Dir: Randy Moore | USA, 2013 | 104mins

In a world of fake castles and anthropomorphic rodents, an epic battle begins when an unemployed father's sanity is challenged by a chance encounter with two underage girls on holiday.

The most provocative film of the year, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW should not exist. Like nothing you've ever seen, Randy Moore's directorial debut is a bold and ingenious trip into the happiest place on earth. Shot without permission on location in Disneyland, this film is a truly unique motion picture that is not only a bold and daring production but an original and masterful work of art that will leave you breathless!


Synopsis
An epic battle begins when a middle-aged American husband and father of two learns that he has lost his job. Keeping the news from his nagging wife and wound-up children, he packs up the family and embarks on a full day of park hopping amid enchanted castles and fairytale princesses. Soon, the manufactured mirth of the fantasy land around him begins to haunt his subconscious. An idyllic family vacation quickly unravels into a surrealist and darkly comic nightmare of paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy Parisian teenagers. Chillingly shot in black and white, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW dissects the mythology of artificial perfection while subversively attacking our culture's obsession with mass entertainment.



“A Mind Melting Vacation From Hell.”
William Goss, The Playlist

“A borderline-experimental miasma of sexual neuroses, macho angst, regressive frenzy, and fevered paranoia.…Escape From Tomorrow is the cinematic equivalent of carnival belly.”
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine

"One of the strangest and most provocative movies this reporter has seen. Surrealist, genre-defying...evokes David Lynch, both in its deadpan tone and its utter inscrutability.”
Steven Zeitchik, Los Angeles Times

“Easily the most jaw-dropping film I’ve ever seen at a film festival. The film is like a bad acid trip version of NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION, but with Wally World substituted by the real thing."
Scott Macaulay, Filmmaker Magazine

"Intensely engaging. A daring attempt to literally assail Disney World from the inside out. Conveys a phantasmagorical nightmare on par with something Terry Gilliam might have dreamt up in his BRAZIL days.”
Eric Kohn, Indiewire
