"I can’t tell you how grateful I’ve been for these opportunities to learn and get out of my comfort zone. I’d reached a place where I knew I wanted to make the jump from stage puppetry to film/monitor but felt like I just kept hitting walls re: where to learn, make that transition, connections, etc (without living in NYC or LA). I’ve been so grateful for the chance to learn from performers I respect and revere! All that to say, you really have filled a void with Little Shadow and that’s a special thing."
