Draw. And then judge later. This week, Jen catches up with SFF 2021 filmmaker Dash Shaw (My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea, 2016) who is returning to SFF with Cryptozoo - an animated bonanza featuring cryptids, pop art collages, Fantagraphics splendour, Dungeon & Dragons inspo, and all your favourite New York City voices (ie just Alex Karpovsky from Girls). In the chat over zoom the two discuss Laurie Anderson's metric for completing a film, and the unusual cinema that inspired Shaw. Oh, and André fell asleep in Power of the Dog.

The film Cryptozoo is playing SFF 2021; go to www.sff.org.au to buy tickets.
