Handmade Puppet Dreams is a shorts collection put together by Heather Henson of the annual Orlando Puppet Festival and many many other creative projects. Heather has funded some of the shorts she includes in the collection (namely Harker), whereas others are made by friends and acquaintances or picked up at other festivals as she takes the program on the road. There are some very entertaining pieces, also including the surreal Unicycle Baby Guy, and Project Huxley none of which should be missed.
This first screening is happening Monday in or around SXSW, but the second one is right here in Florida, even if it is down South. Delray Beach is, to my understanding, in between West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, about 3 hours from Orlando. If you have the time next weekend, check out the festival and Handmade Puppet Dreams (myspace).
