Critics go ape for Sylvio @ SXSW

Something wonky in the design? Check it out on the web for the best possible view.


	“It sounds cliche but you've never seen anything like it…” “You might go ape for it.” “Consistently inventive” “…marvelous sense of wonder in every scene that finds you rooting for this ordinary a gorilla to see his dreams come true.” “…jokes consistently inventive and the counteracting pathos on point—Sylvio is no longer just a bit of quick-to-digest visual drollery, but a full-fledged character with aching wants and needs.”

“A Must See”

—Rolling Stone
—Indiewire

“…a surreal saga that suggests Office Space by way of Sesame Street is pure SXSW—the kind of movie nobody would ever dream up, but somehow, somebody did.”

—Erik Kohn, Indiewire

Simply Sylvio began with the idea of a gorilla at odds with the universe. Over the past several years, the filmmakers posted over 800 6-second Simply Sylvio episodes to their Vine page, each exploring the idea of finding our rightful place in this world.

A true discovery—you won’t want to miss this “mumble-goof absurdity” if your target demo is younger than 45.

He accidentally joins a local TV program and a series of on-air mishaps threaten to shatter his identity, sending him on an adventure of self-discovery where reality and fantasy start to blend.
