Permanent Vacation is a dark comedy film written, directed, and produced by W. Scott Peake and is based upon the novel, What We Did On Our Holidays by Geoff Nicholson. Permanent Vacation is Scott’s first feature film after a career in directing commercials and music videos. It was shot on 35mm film. Eric Bury, a mild mannered Englishman, is told by his boss that he must take a mandatory vacation to ease his workaholic ways. After a brief family meeting to discuss possible scenarios, Eric decides on a "family camping trip", as this may be the last vacation with his teenage children... before they leave the nest. So he takes his wife, daughter and son on a camping holiday to Florida. Once the family arrives at Adventures Unlimited Campground in Florida, Eric is plunged into a world of escalating sexual debauchery, religious ecstasy, human sacrifice, sadistic policemen, dwarves and one philosophizing old man, as this dark comedy takes the family on an outlandish ride.
