We’re now a couple weeks in to the fundraising campaign for PuppetVision: The Movie. So far $1,000 has been raised (the official total on IndieGoGo doesn’t take in to account a very generous anonymous contribution that was received directly by me earlier this week).

Yesterday he shared a mind-bendingly awesome...

Originally a French show called La Maison de Toutou that began airing on the BBC in the late 1960s. The show stars Hector, a somewhat...

Parents, Who Needs Them? is one of those fantastically retro, hopelessly outdated industrial/educational films from the 1970s. The film (actually a remake of an earlier film called Appreciating Parents) tells the story of a magic puppet that makes a little boy invisible so he can learn to appreciate his parents and just how tedious Mom...
