Meet the Artist

Nieto

Born in 1979 in Colombia, Nieto is a French Colombian perversionist artist persecuted by animal defenders and Hare Krishnas. His films and performances are insane experiments and experiences.

The Creature of Darkness

Darkness settles over Little Egypt. Brielle, Karri, and Nunu wander among the limestone outcrops and sandstone spires. In a cave that hid freedom seekers along the Underground Railroad, their uncle shares a story of a creature that stirs at night.
