These are your Directors speaking Escape is now available on Air Canada!!!!! 🇨🇦✈️ by @escape_to___
Long before our homies from around the globe converged on Cape Town to take on 950km across South Africa, we knew we wanted to make a film and share the heart of the mission in a special way. In 2024, (more than a year before the event), @justinmanabat and I travelled to Cape Town to start laying the groundwork — meeting people, working through logistics, capturing early footage and, most importantly, building the relationships that would eventually become the biggest part of @escape_to___ . Justin was determined not to make another film about running — we already know what running looks like. He and @larissaparekh knew there was a much more important story underneath it all, and they embraced the opportunity to tell that story. What followed was a life-changing adventure, relationships that will last a lifetime, more than a dozen people walking around with the same tattoo 😂, and a film that celebrates something we’ve always believed deeply: that the people we choose to move through life with can help us better understand ourselves. It’s been dope to see where this little film has already travelled, and even more exciting knowing there are still a few chapters ahead. Can’t wait to share more of the journey — and the film — intimately in the months ahead. 🎥🇿🇦 @escape_to___ @escapethedoc @justinmanabat @larissaparekh @tenfoldproduction @run4schoolsfoundation by @escape_to___
Escape has officially won an award (GOLD!) at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa for the Doc/TV and Web Series in the Adventure, Expeditions and Travel category! This recognition feels especially meaningful because it’s a celebration of storytelling. Bringing the Escape journey to life in this documentary in a way that connects not just with runners, but with anyone who has ever asked themselves “Who am I?” and wondered about their place in the world, has been such a beautiful process. “We are all storytellers. We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.” Jimmy Neil Smith Thank you to @_itffa for this award ⭐️ by @escape_to___
GOLD. 🏆 We’re incredibly honoured to share that ESCAPE has been awarded Gold at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa @_itffa What began as a story about running quickly became a story about people — about connection, belonging, adventure, and the ways we discover ourselves through the communities that shape us. While we couldn’t be there in person, we’re deeply grateful to Q’s cousin @cathsouthafrica_ and her partner @bladelane for representing the film, attending the awards ceremony, and accepting the award on our behalf. Having family stand in our place made this recognition feel even more meaningful. Congratulations to Directors @justinmanabat and @larissaparekh , and Executive Producers @quinton_jacobs and @adriananvari on this recognition, and to @run4schoolsfoundation , whose work and impact remain at the heart of this story. The journey continues. ❤️ #EscapeFilm #Ubuntu #ITFFA #ConnectionThroughRunning #TourismFilmFestivalAfrica by @escape_to___
@escape_to___ and @therunparlour are coming together for an intimate evening of film, conversation, and connection. @escapethedoc has only been screened a handful of times, so if you’ve been wanting to experience the film and missed the earlier screenings, this may be the chance. Set against the backdrop of South Africa, ESCAPE reflects on how shared experiences, challenges, and adventure have the power to shape us — reminding us that who we become is often tied to who we journey beside. Following the screening, stay for a conversation with the production team, food + drinks, and giveaways from @on. Limited Escape merch will also be available.👀 *The following morning we’ll continue the Escape antics and 2027 scheming😏… with a long run and @on shoe demo. SATURDAY JUNE 13th 6PM 1851 Bayfield Landing 21 Bayfield Main St N, Bayfield, ON 🙌🏽🇿🇦✨ Attendance is by donation in support of @ubuntu.fam . {Ticket link in bio} by @escape_to___

EXCITING NEWS! Escape is set to make its World Premiere at the 2026 Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival! @thevimff Our first film festival acceptance has us buzzing with excitement (and of course, a little nervousness). This will be the first time Escape will be seen outside of those close to it. It’s an honour to share this work with strangers and hope people connect to this story of identity, connection and community. This wouldn’t be possible without @escape_to___ continuing to bring people together through the world of running, and of course @quinton_jacobs for being vulnerable and open to this filming experience. This is more than a documentary. The mission continues to raise funds for @run4schoolsfoundation to provide a safe running space for kids in Mitchells Plain, South Africa. This project was a true labour of love. Thank you to our small but mighty crew who made it possible. 2026 will be a year of celebrating this project and sharing it with the world!

A few months back, we gathered friends and family for a private fundraising event to celebrate those who made this journey possible. So much love in one room 🤍 Since then? A lot has happened, and we’re excited to share it all with you. Stay tuned 👀 📸 @grahambaird_photo by @escape_to___
