Escape from Tomorrow
A labyrinthine descent into the grotesque extremes of a Disneyfied society...surreal for many reasons and wholly original because of them.
Escape from Tomorrow
The most provocative film at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW is a film that should not exist, and yet it does. Like nothing you've ever seen, Randy Moore’s directorial debut is a bold and ingenious trip into the happiest place on earth.
An epic battle begins when a middle-aged 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 fairy tale 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 nightmare of paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy teenage Parisians. 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.

FEATURED REVIEW
Damon Wise, Guardian [UK]
As the 2013 Sundance festival wound to a close, it soon became clear there would be no frontrunner in the U.S. Dramatic Competition, as there was last year with the triumphant Beasts of the Southern Wild. Neither did the comparatively mainstream, star-studded Premieres section deliver anything out ...
