KNOWING GAZE - Dylan Glynn Interview

Christian Zyp interviews Dylan Glynn (writer/designer/director) about the animated short KNOWING GAZE. It will screen at the Edmonton International Film Festival as part of their Short Stop 7.0 program. See it on Saturday October 3rd, 2026 at 12:00pm at Landmark CInemas 9 City Centre.

Knowing Gaze is a loving roast of gay culture. This animated short moves fluidly through a series of interconnected vignettes—from online personas to offline hookups, from the thrift store to the dance floor to the bathhouse. Rendered in expressive brush strokes, the story unfolds as candid conversations carried by acidic dialogue and vulnerable interior monologues. At its core, the film probes the tenderness and tension of modern gay identity. Beneath a million witty one-liners, the soul cries out.
