"Escape Artists,” a delightful tale with a serious message, follows a journey that helps illuminate how an animal goes from having a number to having a name. Running for their lives, armed with a desire to live, Mike Jr from Paterson, New Jersey and Freddie from Jamaica Queens (named after Freddie Mercury of Queen), claim their right to freedom. Unfolding through news media coverage, cellphone footage from eyewitnesses, and Nancy's own interviews and lens, this documentary short deals with deeply personal, cultural, and existential issues like our food choices, and our consumption of animals. “I want to see this documentary out in the world, raising awareness about the sentience of animals and how we decide to treat them” says Nancy.

The premiere of “Escape Artists'' will be an in-person screening followed by a Q&A with Director Nancy Siesel. The premiere will be accompanied by virtual screening from Wednesday, November 09 to Sunday, November 27, 2022.
