Director Statement

I made this movie like Frankenstein made his monster.

My goal was to document the visceral experience of the year 2020 in the form of a collaborative film project with people around the world. Escapism is descriptive of our reality using metaphor, it is a time capsule of the year.

The words in Escapism come from my heart. I exorcised every demon inside me. I dug deep into the poetry of my ancestors, I studied astrophysics, star gazed for hours every night, and refreshed my sci-fi knowledge.

Every cast and crew member involved with the project has dedicated their time for the love of film-making, for the sake of making the best film we possibly can with imagination alone, with no money involved, all during a pandemic- so that we can feel and create together while we physically aren't. I hope our passion project is recognized.
