Please enjoy some (spoiler free) behind the scenes from our submission to @handmadepuppetdreams Halloween 48 hour film challenge. WE DID IT!

I believe that screenings begin on 10/25 but I’ll edit this caption if that’s incorrect. I’m tired.

We will post the film for all to see as soon as we can!

Final credits are in the film but basically:

Director, Writer, Puppeteer : @fabulous.puppets
Assistant Director, Creature Design, and Score : @discopuppetdisco (aka @wraithworker for tunes)
Lead Writer, Lead Shadow Puppeteer: @enbyartnbooks (aka @denverpuppets)
Lead Editor, Writer, Story Board Artist : @phoebelink.art

We’ll be posting a behind the scenes reel closer to the release of the film and once we have all successfully recovered from this very rewarding yet grueling experience. We are addicted to the pain. We love the grind. We will be back.

Big immediate thank you to @pieholedenver for having us and being so supportive of artists in general. Pizza was the fuel for this one!

Thank you as well to @denvercommunitymedia for allowing us to crash your space. Your hospitality and enthusiasm for our weird art is deeply appreciated!!
