    CRYPTOZOO
    NEW YORK -- (SPW) --

    Directors Jane Samborski and Dash Shaw’s latest full-length animated feature film Cryptozoo has been nominated for the Independent Spirit Award. The awards ceremony will be on March 6, 2022. This film was produced by Washington Square Films.  

    Already nominated for the Sundance NEXT Innovator Award, the fantasy feature follows a group of Cryptozookeepers who try to capture a Baku (a dream-eating hybrid creature of legend.) They begin to wonder if they should display these rare beasts in the confines of a cryptozoo, or if these mythical creatures should remain hidden and unknown.

    "Dash Shaw is a unique talent, and Cryptozoo is a special film,” says Washington Square Films Founder/Executive Producer Joshua Blum. “We are very proud to be associated with Dash, Kyle Martin and the entire team of filmmakers as their film Cryptozoo continues to win accolades, including this week’s Spirit Awards nomination."

    Here I'm Alive

    Here I’m Alive, the latest feature from filmmaker and Washington Square Films director Joshua Z Weinstein, has been selected for its World Premiere in the U.S. Narrative Competition at the Tribeca Festival, taking place June 3–14, 2026. Directed by Weinstein and written by Weinstein and Brian Perkins, the 81-minute feature is a raw, neo-realist urban epic set over one night in New York City. The film follows migrants, sex workers, and dreamers as they navigate the city’s digital underbelly, propelled by a sonic backdrop of underground rap and spiritual jazz. Unflinching and immersive, Here I’m Alive delivers a portrait of modern city life that is both intimate and electrifying. Weinstein is best known for his breakout feature Menashe, released by A24, which earned nominations for a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Director and an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature. His previous work has screened at major international festivals, including Sundance, Berlin, and Camerimage, and he has also directed documentaries such as Drivers Wanted, Read More
