Special Presentation: Wendell & Wild (with Marquis The Honey Bear)

“They want you to be like them. I tried to be, but…”

Marquis The Honey Bear joins us for this stop-motion horror collab between Jordan Peele and Henry Selick, which features a diverse cast that includes Raul, a trans boy whose art saves the day. We get into the film’s complex anti-capitalist plot – from an underworld carnival to the prison industrial complex to hair cream that raises the dead – and how it explores so many real-world topics, beautiful bodies, and punk music rarely seen in animation.

Learn more about Ornithomancy, an upcoming short film from Marquis.
