I live in Los Angeles and have the top level annual pass to the Disneyland parks I'm a Disneyland fanatic that goes to Disneyland a dozen times each year. You'll see the family walking through Cinderella's castle in Magic Kingdom, and minutes later be in line for Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters in Disneyland's Tomorrowland (Star Tours can be seen in the background, a ride that doesn't even exist in MK). Most viewers would never notice, but the Disney World presented in the film is actually a amalgamation of Disney parks on both US coasts. The cast and crew bought season passes to enter the parks as 'normal visitors', filming ten days in the Orlando parks and two weeks in Disneyland in Anaheim. He begins to start fantasizing and following a couple French-speaking teenage girls, experiencing delusions around the park that may hint to a more sinister underbelly of Disney World. His relationship with his wife strained, and the day isn't the pleasurable escape from reality that he had hoped. He tells no one - all he wants to do is have one last day of vacation in the park. The father receives a phone call early in the morning informing him that he no longer has a job. The movie takes place over the course of one day, following a family vacationing at Walt Disney World. Sound was recorded without an on-set sound mixer, sometimes using smart phones, and sometimes using digital recorders taped to each actor, which would record an entire day's worth of audio, which editors had to sort through afterward. They even charted the position of the sun weeks in advance for each shot of the movie to make up for the lack of lighting equipment. The cinematographer and AD conducted intensive location scouting, with every shot exhaustively planned and blocked in advance. But it was, and after the break we'll tell you how it was done.ĭirector Randy Moore went into the park with his actors and a tiny crew and shot the film entirely on the Cannon 5D DSLR camera. Most of the movie was shot in Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Disneyland without the knowledge or permission of Disney. This is a film that, from a conventional perspective, should never have been created, never mind screened at the top independent film festival in the United States. Not only do the filmmakers make no attempt to hide or obscure the location, but the Disney theme park and costumed characters play a huge part in the story. Escape From Tomorrow is a movie that takes place during a family vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
