Handmade Puppet Dreams selected myself and 7 other puppetry artists to develop short puppet films in 2021 with a special micro-commission deployed during the pandemic. In addition to financial support from the Green Feather Foundation, HPD producers Alex Griffin, Jessica Simon and executive producer Heather Henson offered us film workshops and critique sessions on our works in progress. In January 2022 I’ll be writing here about the inspiration and techniques we used and learned.

Our film, Misophonia, had a public screening on the Handmade Puppet Dreams facebook page on December 18, 2021 with the 7 other films:
