About Benh Zeitlin
Benh Zeitlin built Court 13 before directing Beasts of the Southern Wild in 2012 about Hushpuppy facing the storm. Wendy followed in 2020 retelling Peter Pan with lost kids and lava.
Both films run on non pros and bayous with thin plots on purpose. The plots never link, but the myth rhymes in storms and mothers. Release order shows his short craft widening from levees to islands intact. The levee water and lava rocks carry every myth with wonder. The bayou mud and lava rocks fill every myth with wonder.
Good to know
Watch Beasts before Wendy since the myth habit carries over well. Beasts suits a storm night while Wendy wants island focus. Both reward wonder over plot hunger. No next feature has a date yet, so the 2020 Pan film stays last until one is announced. The Sundance love confirms the storm, so give Beasts full attention.
