It’s hard to talk about CRYPTOZOO without shaking your head and saying “What a trip!” This incredibly animated indie film appears to have taken some acid, and we get to go along for the ride. Set on another world (or is it some past or future version of ours?), CRYPTOZOO follows cryptozookeepers through a richly-drawn hallucinatory world as they struggle to capture a baku (a legendary dreameating 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 for their ultimate safety. What a world, what a world! Sponsored by Peter and Lee Lyford
