Escape is a documentary that follows a classically-trained artist in search of tranquility and focus in the breath-taking remote landscapes of Mull.
Directors Vision for ‘Escape’
At it’s heart, ESCAPE is a short documentary about art and the world that comes with being an artist – told from an artist’s perspective. Additionally, the aim was to portray an underlying message that showcases the values of nature and magnify the importance of the positive effects it brings when we give it the opportunity to connect with us. Visually, it felt right to shoot mostly using a 35mm lens for the perfect focal length, heightening the impact of the imposing landscapes and humble the viewer whilst maintaining the sense of reality. We maintained this throughout the sound design and score to seamlessly leave the viewer eager for an escape of their own.
