9 Awesome Movies That Were Shot In Secret

8. Escape From Tomorrow

Even if Escape from Tomorrow was a terrible film, you'd have to admire the audacity of writer-director Randy Moore, who shot the entire movie - a David Lynch-inspired thriller following a father as his mental state begins to deteriorate - on-location and in secret at Disney World and Disneyland.

With Disney being fiercely protective of their properties, Moore had his cast keep the script on their phones and the entire film was shot with consumer-grade handheld cameras, in order to avoid attraction suspicion from park security.

Audio was meanwhile recorded by taping digital recorders to the actors' bodies, and because they were left recording all day, the sound editors then had to sift through the entire day's worth of recordings to locate each day's usable dialogue.

Moore also edited the film in South Korea to avoid Disney catching wind of it, and when it premiered at Sundance 2013, the festival refused to mention Disney by name for fear of the screenings being shut down.

The film itself, a staggeringly surreal work, is unsurprisingly rough around the edges, but nevertheless a stunning exercise in guerrilla filmmaking that absolutely deserves to be witnessed.
