About Escape Films

 

After starting the New Century Writer Awards (NCWA) in 1997, OmicronWorldTM  founder Jason Marchi and business/creative partner Mike Timm (an award-winning writer/director) began consulting with independent filmmakers discovered through the NCWA competition. One of those talents was Lisa Kors, who wrote and directed her debut feature film "Dinner and a Movie" after winning a top award for screenplay writing in an early NCWA contest. Lisa later won Best Director for the film at the Slamdunk Film Festival, the Audience Award from the Texas Film Festival, and Best Comedy at both Worldfest Houston and the New Bedford Film Festival.

 

Soon, Mike Timm began developing his own film ideas, which Marchi supported in various capacities, mainly as an executive producer. Two to those projects are displayed below.

 

In 1998, Marchi also executive produced "Hoofboy," a short film starring Will Keenan (Tromeo and Juliet), who wrote and directed. "Hoofboy" is a mocumental melodrama about a young man with hooves for feet and the women who adore them. The film stars Keenan along side Jennifer Lien (Star Trek:Voyager), Pauley Perrette (The Ring, NCIS), and Kerri Kenny (Reno 911!).

In late 2019 we started developing a YouTube live-action series

and an accompanying web-based radio show called Danse Macabre.

COVID-19 caused serious delays. The program will debut in 2022 or 2023.

Come back to look for updates and announcements.
