Chicago Filmmaker Brian Andrews’ new film, Hominidæ, about an x-ray spider mutant, will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24th at 8:00 p.m. at The Box at The Ray.
A CG-animated virtual reality film, Hominidæ depicts an ecosystem of x-ray visibility. It features creatures that have evolved in surprising ways, and humans, birds, spiders and frogs share unique anatomies. This experience follows an Arachnid Hominid, an intelligent creature with human and spider physiology, as she struggles to raise her young in a hostile environment.
The film was featured at the Festival de Cannes Marché du Film for a pitch and demonstration in May 2019.
