Serbian director/animator Sava Zivkovic, whose outstanding short film Irradiation is featured in the Best of Stash 2021 collection, teams with concept designer Ben Mauro to bring Mauro’s HUXLEY graphic novel to the screen.

Sava Zivkovic: “In late 2019 I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Ben Mauro at Playgrounds Berlin, after years of following and admiring his work online. What followed was a passionate exchange of ideas and a rather obvious shared admiration for all things sci-fi.

“Ben had been working on his own sci-fi epic called HUXLEY, the world’s first graphic novel released in the NFT format, and he was looking for ways to take his designs and illustrations into the world of animation.

“This is where our interests aligned even more so, the desire to craft something unique that would get audiences inspired and excited in similar ways as the original Star Wars or Mad Max have inspired us.

“Therefore, we decided to embark on this journey of bringing HUXLEY to life, and not just in this short trailer form, but also the upcoming longer format films that are currently in development.”
