‘Escape From Tomorrow’ Actor Sheds Light On Guerilla Filming Inside Disney Parks

I love Disney, a lot. Being a huge part of my childhood, and even my adulthood, Disney has left their mark. I have been to Walt Disney World probably about ten times now, and I am only twenty-two years old — that’s not a bad thing, is it? In my early twenties I have even found an architectural, and consumerist appreciation of Disney, as it would be wrong to say that they are not at the top of their game in appeal and aesthetic. That being said, sometimes, The Mouse is a lot to take in. My most recent visit to the Orlando theme parks was a little over a year ago, and I can still remember the instilled panic of walking down Main Street, USA, to find thousands of people hurtling across the pavement. Scattering like little mice in a cage, I thought to myself, “Is this the peak of humanity?” Children violently strung together via a leash, people on cell phones screaming at the top of their lungs for no specific, apparent reason, brochures and flyers flung at my face, matching shirts, matching pants, balloons, tears, sweat, and food stains. I was on vacation.

Some of these aspects highlight the problematic approach to shooting a film inside Disney World, all without the park’s consent, or knowledge. The Randy Moore-directed, and UTG anticipated film, Escape From Tomorrow, attempted to feat just that. In a recent interview with lead actor Roy Abramsohn, he talks about the difficulties of filming with the fear of being shut down at any given moment, and what it was like planning such a delicate itinerary for filming, with such a delicate purpose.

The film is planned for a limited release on October 11, 2013, granted Disney does not interfere, but will they even bother?
