FLEE was created during location scouting in Canada in the fall of 2021 for my debut feature film, KRYPTIC. I was ridiculously terrified and excited to embark on my first cinematic adventure and there was a huge rain storm there for three days. I waited out the storm while holed up in one of my favorite places in Canada, a town called Hope. Nestled in the mountains, at the junction of three highways, Hope is full of cheerfully bleak hotels, gas stations, truck stops and fast-food diners. I've always found the ephemeral nature of the town comforting, the people friendly and the setting like something out of a supernatural flick from the 1980s. This series presented here, like the town, is strange in its prosaic comfort. It bears witness to a uniquely marvelous period in my life.
