Filmmaker Statement

The Crocodile is a film that is bringing together a diverse group of talented artists in New York City interested in exploring themes of fear through a surrealist lens. This film will work to ignite questions in the audience's minds around their own fears and indecision. As artists, The Crocodile's team members were all raised in the nursery of CalArts to prioritize inclusion and diversity when making art. On a practical level, this means the artists in front of an behind the camera are reflective of the city it is being shot in, i.e. majority women and POC
