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.
