Puppet Boy
Puppet Boy
“Puppetboy” is a half hour live action short film about an obsessed animator and a film crew doing a documentary on him. For more than ten years the artist has worked on films featuring a little clay figure he calls “Puppetboy”. Many hours of animation have been completed, yet very little has been made available to the public. Following the artist behind the scenes the film crew discover a very intimate relationship between him and his protagonist.
