"Turning the conventional on its head"

Casiopea is an animation studio based in Mexico City, led by Andrea Mondragón and Sandra Medina. They explore visual languages that mutate with every project by blending digital and analog techniques.
They’re committed in spreading cultural content, independent short films and music videos. Always looking to portray a hand-made and experimental character, mixing techniques such as frame by frame animation, digital, stop motion and cutout.


Studio Projects:

CutOut Fest:
Casiopea made teasers, opening titles and animated bumpers for the 10th edition of the animation festival CutOut Fest in Queretaro, Mexico. The visual development was based in the art of the official poster for the festival that year (2018), made by the Brasilian art collective: Bicicleta Sem Freio.

Home Is Somewhere Else:
Home Is Somewhere Else is a 2022 Mexican-American adult animated documentary film written and directed by Carlos Hagerman & Jorge Villalobos (in his directorial debut).
