Escape (2026)
Director: Anna Danielle Moore
Deep in the wetlands of New South Wales, a tiny amphibian warrior fights a hidden war. The green and golden bell frog is losing ground to a microscopic monster: Chytrid fungus, a silent killer that has already wiped out more than 90 frog species worldwide. But hope comes from the most unexpected place—a frog sauna. As the fungus saps the frog’s strength, danger closes in from above and all around, but the deadliest enemy lurks beneath the water’s surface. In a last-ditch search for sanctuary, the frog stumbles upon a steamy refuge that could be the key to its survival. Can this fragile spark of hope outshine the odds? Blending eerie thrills with playful charm, this family-friendly short film reimagines a real-life conservation story in a fresh, unforgettable light.
