Documentary: “The Puppeteer”

Film maker Gabor Kukucska has made a lovely short documentary about the life of Queensland puppeteer Brett Hansen, leading to the establishment of Larrikin Puppets. This 13 minute film explores how Brett dealt with childhood bullying and horrible workplaces, personal difficulties like unemployment and the end of his first marriage, and wonderful things like encouragement from his family, and meeting the love of his life Elissa Jenkins.
The film explores the growth of his small business, and the types of bookings he receives. And it talks about the professional development in the USA, including advanced training under puppeteers from Sesame Street and The Muppets.
Please watch this great trailer:
