For the first time we are entering the strange and new (to us) world of film festivals with Misophonia, the 9 minute paper and shadow puppet film we made with Heather Henson’s Handmade Puppet Dreams. It’s a funny thing to make a puppet movie, then wonder- who would want to see it? So far we’ve had some luck. It’s first official film festival was Silence is Golden in New Belgrade, Serbia, where it won a Special Mention. So far in 2023 it will be screened at the Providence Children’s Film Festival in Rhode Island, Snowtown Film Festival in northern NY, Puppet Festival Mississauga in Ontario, the Underexposed Film Festival in South Carolina, and the Blackbird Film Festival in central New York.
