ESCAPE is a film collage installation edited by Breton Tyner-Bryan comprised of a selection of her Breton Follies Productions films in order of appearance including Bloom 2024, Let Her Go 2024, Egosia 2019, The Bridge 2024, Raze 2019, West of Frank 2023, Delusione 2022, and Invicta 2021. With a photographic memory my daily experience is often informed by nostalgia, and the collage effect of a non negotiable image driven life. We are all chasing a memory, as our perception of time transcends a linear existence. This work is a love letter to DJ’s, playlists, mix tapes, and the price of time. Like timpani pounding away the past, we are repeatedly erased and remade anew. This collage of my film work as a producer, director, writer, choreographer, editor, actor, and costume designer is an ode to public facing art, and accessibility beyond the proscenium arena. Without intending to focus on time, this edit was completed in 24 hours, is 24 minutes long, and plays on a loop in a 24 hour cycle, signaling sacred completion, one’s wholeness, and the opportunity to begin again.
Breton Tyner-Bryan is a director, writer, actor, and choreographer with Canadian roots based in New York City. A classically trained ballet dancer, her films have won over 100 awards globally. OC Movies, TV & Streaming has compared her work to the Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan and Room 104: Voyeurs, calling it “an impressionistic fantasy with eye-catching visuals, a fresh take on storytelling.” Film Threat has described her works as “a stylish and crafted presentation” that “succeeds in telling an intriguing story.” She has taught for New York University, Fordham University, Smith College, Berklee NYC, and Joffrey Ballet School. She holds an MA in Film from New York University, a BFA in Ballet Performance from the University of Utah, and is currently in pre-production on her pilot-to-series I DREAM OF HAZEL and seven feature films she is attached to direct.
