Ronan's Escape is a 2010 short film written and directed by Australia-born filmmaker A.J. Carter and produced by Academy Award Nominee, Martin Mhando. The film, set in the rural wheat belt of Western Australia, provides a candid insight into the life of Ronan, a 14-year-old boy who has been bullied at school his whole life and decides to make an escape. This accurate and controversial portrayal of life for someone who has fallen victim to bullying and the repercussions which exist, is told in a unique, exposition intensive format with very little use of dialogue. Ronan's Escape presents arbitrary scenes rather than traditional storytelling which provokes audiences into discussion and interpretation of the scenes on a more personal level while reflecting on their own experiences.
