“Hiding in the Open, an engaging and thought-provoking new film by pioneering independent director Marc Hampson, examines one night in the life of two capricious twenty-somethings searching for direction.  Good natured but rebellious Chase, fleeing stifling domesticity, joins his lesbian party-girl companion Denny on a tour through Los Angeles’ nightlife.  Abandoned by her fiancé and desperate to escape the solitude of her apartment, recovering alcoholic Hazel embarks on a parallel journey of self-discovery punctuated by the beckoning of a whiskey bottle.  Visual auteur Hampson follows Chase and Hazel into a surreal landscape of drug-induced mind trips and crippling isolations reimagining Los Angeles in a way never seen before.  Hiding in the Open is an emotional experience, finding poetry in its images and truth in the spaces we try to ignore.”
