Man Shoots Entire Movie Surreptitiously in Disney World
A scene from “Escape from Tomorrow” (Sundance Film Festival)
Randy Moore, after visiting Disney World and Disneyland all his life, began to bring his children (age 1 and 3). Then he decided to make a movie.
But instead of seeking out permission from Disney, Moore went renegade. He filmed an entire movie in Disney parks in Orlando and Anaheim.
“It got really tense for a while,” Moore said, of his home and personal life, according to the LA Times. His wife knew what he was doing, but many of his friends didn’t.
Using real people as extras and a cohort of friends and colleagues as actors and actresses (including himself), Moore shot the movie with intriguing organization. He and his crew kept all the info on iPhones, and at some points signaled to each other through spies.
“To me this is the future. Cameras in your hand. Cameras in your glasses. Anyone can be shooting at any time. And I think it will explode,” Moore said. He has not been in contact, yet, with anyone from Disney. The LA Times portrays the chances of Moore’s film being shown commercially (it was shown at Sundance) as slim, pegging legal obstacles to overcome “a legal Everest.”
The plot of “Escape,” the movie, is disorienting, says the half-review half-interview, including several different angles of interpretation and multiple loose ends left unraveled. The author compares it to unusual but compelling movies Memento and Primer.
“I like movies that you have to see several times,” Moore said. “I’ve seen ‘The Master’ six or seven times, and I can’t wait to see it an eighth. I don’t like movies that have a skeleton key that explains everything.”
Disney has no ‘expectation of privacy’ on their property after a visitor pays entrance fees. There is no ‘legal Mt. Everest’. Any attorney could try this case and probably win.
God we live in a churlish world. Away to go and good luck, in three words. Bollocks to them .
