Production

The art direction of Virus Tropical was headed by cartoonist and writer of the titular graphic novel Power Paola. Paola produced around 5,000 individual drawings for the film, which combines 3D animation with hand-drawn animation to create a boldly graphic yet childlike aesthetic to depict the film's tone. Released in black and white, the film explores themes of sexuality, growth and one's relationship with family.
