Work in Progress: ZAKO
Zako is a feature-length animated film produced by OnOff Studio, based on the graphic novel. The film tells the true story of Soviet Armenian painter Sargis Mangasaryan, who survived a Nazi POW camp during World War II by drawing portraits of his captors.
Directed by Tigran Arakelyan, the film aims to push artistic boundaries through an innovative visual language that blends VR tools such as Quill with classical CG rendering, creating an aesthetic close to a living graphic novel.
