[ AN 'ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK' FAN FILM ]
CALL ME SNAKE is a film that explores an otherwise unseen chapter of John Carpenter's ESCAPE film franchise (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, ESCAPE FROM LA) which chronologically takes place in the time between the two films. We follow our title character SNAKE PLISSKEN, a hardened renegade, outlaw and gunslinger, as he navigates his way through the seedy underbelly of New Vegas, Thailand - an international haven of freedom, sin and debauchery. Living on the run from the corrupt US Government, Snake lives in this dystopian cityscape as a gun for hire, living by his own cynical moral code, and doing whatever it takes to survive.

"Escape From New York—its tone, its storyline, its setting, its surly hero, its distinctive musical score—has been highly influential in the four decades since its release. (Let us speak not of the long-rumored, much-dreaded remake.) Call Me Snake nails the qualities that’ve made Escape such a beloved cult favorite among fans and filmmakers alike; the character with the cackling laugh is a nice touch, as are the knowingly cheesy moments sprinkled throughout. Hey, team Call Me Snake—can we get a Big Trouble in Little China homage in time for next March 17?"
