Eager to escape their busy lives, a couple sets off on a backpacking trip. They journey on a remote trail, set-up camp, and head to the top of the mountain. On the way back, they become aware of a menacing presence and discover their camp has been occupied by a malevolent stranger. The Hike is based on an actual event but should be viewed as an allegory as well as a commentary on our current social and political climate. | Official Selection - VTIFF NEQ 2018

The Vermont International Film Festival is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the community and bring the world to Vermont through film.
Launched in 2014 by a group of filmmakers, archivists and concerned members of the public who wished to ensure the survival of artists’ films in Vermont, VAMP officially became a program of VTIFF in May 2015. The VAMP committee has broadened the initial concept to include all types of films and videos made by VT filmmakers or shot in Vermont.
