Portland, we took a chance and put ourselves out there...so THANK YOU for really showing up at our puppet film event @moviemadness.org on July 5th!!! We're still blown away by how many of you came out (enough to fill the theater 2X!) and by how fun and engaged you were during our films and Q&As…

Portland! July 5th, 6-8pm at MOVIE MADNESS we have a FREE puppet film screening event! It’ll have our puppet film THE OUTSIDER (and more), behind the scenes, Q&A, and puppets and props from the film. Don’t be an OUTSIDER, join us for this wild rumpus! #pagancircus #moviemadness #portlandoregon

Our puppet goblin band now has a horn section: enter the Splatz-aphone! #handmade #puppet #prop #saxaphone #puppetry #madeinportland

This little drum goblin is the first member of our new puppet band! Handmade puppet, handmade drum made from trash, and all-human puppeteering. #handmade #puppet #goblin #drummer #madeinportland

Our award-winning film used a blanket as an entire landscape! Sometimes the best solution is right under your nose (or draped over your bed). #indiefilmmakers #puppetfilm #foundobjects #setbuilding #theoutsider #madeinportland

Circles: if you're a maker, you're gonna need `em. Schneider rips the lid off an extremely useful but easily overlooked shop tip. Circles everywhere. #circles #propmaking #diyprojects #makertips

We didn't know it when we started filming, but our film "The Outsider" needed more monsters than we had planned. We went back to the creature shop and just figured it out! #puppetfilm #creatureshop #indiefilmmaking #handmade #puppets #hplovecraft #theoutsider
