Old Bet was the famous elephant of a Somers, New York farmer who bought her to farm the land and ultimately realized that was not going to happen...Old Bet ultimately became the first circus elephant in America. Set to a tune sung by her friend, an old farm dog, their story is portrayed in colorful, handcrafted animation, created frame by frame with clay-on-glass and oil pastel animation.

More than anything else, what signals the tension in the BESTIA trailer, is the sound track. It builds as the trailer progresses, making it almost obvious that what originally seems like a mundane snapshot of life would soon feature both a knife (twice) and a gun by the end. Inspired by real events, BESTIA, by Hugo Covarrubias, enters the life of a secret police agent in the military dictatorship in Chile.
