Here is a taste of each of the six short films. All the shows will use puppets in slightly different ways with wildly divergent moods and music:
U R Tha 1! - Tresey follows the groove through a funk-filled urban odyssey! Along the way he meets a new friend from the neighborhood and goes on an exciting journey that will change the hood forever. Can Tresey and his group of funkateers bring back the funk before curfew? Put the needle to the groove, join the gang, and find out now!
No. 1 Pencil - Y'all know the No. 2 pencil. Did you know that the No. 1 pencil was capable of opening a portal to another dimension and was invented with the help of a demon? Hard rocking and tongue-in-cheek take on a tortured scientist's quest for greatness.
On My Shoulders - What if the angel and devil on your shoulders were real, and everybody could see and hear them? For our downtrodden hero, Charlie, they very much are, and he'll have to learn to live with them on this funky rock journey of self-acceptance.
Litmus Test - In an underground bunker in a post-apocalyptic future, a young scientist and a strange visitor engage in a debate that will decide the fate of the human colony. A visionary and searching science fiction tale.
The Feast - In the tiny village of Chowtown, the biggest is the best - therefore, the person who eats the most is elected to rule over the rest! It’s a flawless system until a stranger introduces a brand new innovation to the world - cannibalism. A stop-motion fairytale you can really sink your teeth into.
Below the Thunders of the Upper Deep - A mad submarine captain and loyal crew search out and seek to wake the Kraken. A propelling industrial soundtrack sets the mood to our Captain’s whimsical yet horrific end.
