- STAFF REPORT

Chattanoog­a film maker Morgan Capps’ first feature film, “Meow Wolf: Origin Story,” will make i ts Chattanoog­a debut tonight, Nov. 29, at 7: 30 p.m. in the AMC Chattanoog­a 18,5080 South Terrace, and the Regal Hamilton Place 8, 2000 Hamilton Place Blvd.

“Meow Wolf: Origin Story” is a documentar­y about the Sante Fe, New Mexico-based art collective Meow Wolf. The collective happens to be a favorite of George R.R. Martin, author and creator of “Game of Thrones,” who executive produced the film.

Begun by a group of like-minded friends who just enjoyed making art together, Meow Wolf grew by leaps and bounds, evolving into a multimilli­on- dollar cor- poration. It was a movement for creatives who felt l ocked out of t he traditiona­l arts establishm­ent. The art collective generated global attent i on for t he economic model it developed to pay artists more fairly for large- scale work.

But with such meteoric growth came new ideas and visions, which caused disagreeme­nts within the collective. This documentar­y follows the rise of Meow Wolf and asks viewers to decide t he difference in chaos and order.
