Escape

What Is Escape?

Escape is a feature documentary on the pleasures and perils of escapism. In a time of political and cultural upheaval, we all feel the urge to escape once in awhile. But how? By exploring a wide range of pastimes, backgrounds, and beliefs, we’ll discover how people are finding meaning, joy, and ways to cope.

How to Help

We believe in this movie, and as you can see from the video above, we’re off to great start. To see it through to completion, we just need a little help.

On October 20, 2026, we’re launching a crowdfunding campaign. Sign up for the newsletter with the form below and we’ll notify you when the campaign launches.
