This workshop is designed to inspire aspiring puppetry filmmakers. We'll use traditional mainstream TV puppetry directing techniques to help make your indie film or web series more effective.
October 17th & 24th at 8:30pm est!
(2 Nights )
We will explore different starting points for new puppetry work, and how to lay up a framework for the puppet world being created. We'll talk about ways to play inside that frame, break out of it, and in doing so, discover those magical "aha!" moments using the strengths of the puppet style at hand.
Puppetry Launchpad: Budgeting & Pitching for Success - A Special Event in collaboration with the La MaMa Puppet Festival
Award-winning producer and puppeteer Jean Marie Keevins will lead you through the foundational steps of turning your puppet show idea into a reality. This hands-on intensive, held at La MaMa’s Great Jones Studios, will focus on creating a functional budget and crafting a compelling pitch that will help you move your project forward. By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with practical tools and a working pitch you can refine as you continue developing your production.
