WATCH THE TRAILER
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 cultures obsession with mass entertainment.
Shot guerilla-style on location at Disney's Magic Kingdom and Disneyland theme parks without permission from the Walt Disney Company, film reviewers at the Sundance Film Festival speculated that further screenings of the film would be stopped by litigation from Disney's legal team. The film's website maintains a prominent "number of hours since release that we haven't been sued" counter, although the Disney Company has thus far declined to pursue legal action.

The Hidden River Film Initiative (formerly the Greater Reading Film Festival) focuses on independent and local films that audiences in the Berks County area may not have an opportunity to view on the big screen otherwise. Its name refers to the Initiative's location along the banks of the Schuylkill River and Reading's rich history as a river town. Arendt Corssen of the Dutch West India Company, the first European to discover the river, gave it the Dutch name "Schuylkill," which is said to translate to "hidden river."
