The Perfectly Playful Puppet Parade

About this Short Film

The ‘Perfectly Playful Puppet Parade’ is a film that tells a fictional rhyming story of how school children made a puppet that resembled themself (with a little help) at school. The acting teacher’s intention was for his class to put on a puppet show. Each child needed to write a rhyming verse about themself, and their puppet was to recite it at the performance. But the plot thickened when an electrical storm triggered the class of child look alike puppets to come to life and explore their child’s classroom and get up to mischief. The teacher arrived at school in the morning and on his way to the classroom he heard the puppet antics. The living puppets had to run back to the stage and with haste and return to their non-living form in order not to get caught. The film progresses with puppet show being performed and it was a huge success. The teacher told the students to take their puppet home for the school holiday break and it is in the child’s home that the puppets once again came to life joined a digital puppet group chat using their look alike child’s phone.
