Filmpremiere

After months of hard-work, we presented the film at OFFF Barcelona to kick-offf the 3-day festival. On the main-stage, in front of 2000+ curious people.

It was surreal to finally see our film on the big screens and to give a 45-minute talk about our entire process. Our creative choices, production challenges and the valuable lessons we’ve learned. We shared all of it.

The response from the audience was overwhelmingly positive. Definitely a bucket-list experience and a moment to never forget!

Behind the scenes

Since the film is completely made by hand, the design process from beginning to end might even be more captivating than the film itself.

Take a deep dive into the creation of the film, on-set adventures and funny outtakes. From crafting the puppets to building the sets, the craftsmanship and dedication is documented in a snappy behind-the-scenes video.
