Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

A group of artists in Santa Fe, NM, frustrated by the lack of access to the art world, decide to form their own collective and name themselves Meow Wolf. Their immersive, large-scale exhibitions crack open a profitable niche in the arts industry, and they spark the interest of George R. R. Martin (creator of “Game of Thrones,”) who comes on board as an investor and supporter. With their wild success obtained on their own terms, Meow Wolf tells its own story and inspires the DIY spirit in creatives, entrepreneurs, and dreamers the world over – in cinemas for one night on Thursday, November 29 only at 7:30 p.m. local time.

This is an art movie about creating art in a huge way. Check out the Meow Wolf website to see if such a subject appeals to you. I found the movie and Meow Wolf fascinating and inspiring.

Great film -artists come together to create an alternative to the stuffy and elitist art world and create something wildly successful. The art experiences they create are awesome!

Other than showing moments of in-fighting, Meow Wolf: Origin Story is an almost entirely positive exploration of the collective and their art — but it’s an effective one.

Two big themes run through Meow Wolf: Origin Story. One is “inclusivity.” Even people who get into tiffs and storm off find themselves invited back in, “a lot more like a family than friends,” Caity Kennedy says. The other is uncompromising idealism.

While the particular brand of art that Meow Wolf crafts isn’t for everyone — audiences uninterested in participatory experiences may very well be turned off by the film’s synopsis alone — the story at the heart of “Origin Story” is universal.
