We all ingest plastic poisons unknowingly, but as Alissa accidentally consumes more and more plastic, a strange creature begins to haunt her as the poison eats her from the inside out.
"No Escape From That Within" is the Slipstream-voted fan favorite winner of Plastic Pollution Coalition and Hollywood, Health and Society's short horror film contest Plastic Kills! which highlights the horrors of single-use plastics.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS
Nathaniel Wisham
Writer, Director, Editor
Nathaniel Wisham (he/him) is a Film Student at UC Berkeley. He comes to film with a passionate love for the horror genre and a love for conservation and the natural world. Coming from Sacramento, and without a background in film production prior to becoming involved with production at Berkeley, his past production projects have all been made within production courses at UC Berkeley, up until No Escape From That Within. His last work before it, The Worst That Could Happen was a comedy horror short about friendship, red flags, and vampires. He came to this project excited to finally make an attempt at creating a “green” horror piece, as his love for the horror genre stems in large part from its ability to make intangible issues and threats tangible to unsettling effects.
Tobin Carter

Having grown up raising and rescuing various species of animals, he developed a passion and appreciation for the environment at a young age. He is currently writing a novel he hopes to get published, as well as completing a poetry collection that will be released soon! He is studying film at the University of California, Berkeley, and is very grateful for this opportunity.
