OnOff Studios To Adapt Zako – Crude Fruit Into A VR/CG Adult Animated Film

ONOff Studios has announced that they are adapting the Tigran Mangasryan-written graphic novel Zako-Crude Fruit into an all-new adult animated film that is being directed by Tigran Arakelyan. The Armenian-born director is using VR tech along with CG to help adapt the story that will tell the tall of Zako aka Sargis Mangasaryan, who lived through the hell of a Nazi POW camp. Zako survived by drawing portraits of his tormentors. In 1956, Zako and his friends visit a Picasso exhibition. Suddenly they freeze in awe before the great master’s pinnacle work Guernica. Zako realizes how unripe he has stayed in all those years drawing portraits. And even though he was fighting for freedom, his artistic growth was limited by the impact of the system.

A first-look teaser has been released of the film now in development and expected to release sometime in 2025.
