Due to the presence of Christopher Lloyd, director Sean Olson’s ‘Camp Hideout’ will bring to mind ‘Camp Nowhere’ for several audience members. Written by Kat Olson, C. Neil Davenport, and Dave DeBorde, the film also contains shades of ‘Home Alone’ and even Olson’s own ‘F.R.E.D.I.’. Does the family-friendly comedy get smothered in the nostalgia for those other titles? Or can the film find its own path?

Director Sean Olson and producer Jason Brown share their insights and experiences in an exclusive interview, shedding light on the movie’s inspiration.

After a troubled teen steals an important item from two big city goons, he hides in a church summer camp and finds he must protect his new found friends at all cost when the goons track him down.

For the most part, shows that explore the elements of the human condition, rarely explore the same element twice. In part because there’s so much to explore about who we are and what makes us tick, that repeating any examination would seem superfluous in nature and perhaps insulting to the audience.
