Comic book illustrator, writer, and filmmaker
Dash Shaw recently created a visually stunning film about cryptids called Cryptozoo. The animated feature from Magnolia Pictures innovates the creature feature subgenre while exploring artistic methods that creatively capture an array of mythological beasts.
There are hundreds of cryptids, or mythological animals, that span centuries of folklore across the world. However, none of them have been the center of a story quite like this.
Cryptozoo “follows cryptozookeepers through a richly-drawn hallucinatory world as they struggle to capture a baku (a legendary dream-eating hybrid creature) and begin to wonder if they should display these rare beasts in the confines of a zoo, or if these mythical creatures should remain hidden and unknown.”
