Hello Dear Friends,
The teaser trailer for Frank & Zed drops today! I am super excited for you to see it.
The Stan Winston School of Character Art is premiering it for us on their FB page. They have 1.7 MILLION followers so cross your fingers it takes off.
You can catch the premiere yourself here: Frank & Zed Teaser Premiere
After it's out, please share with someone you know who would love an all-puppet monster movie!
More details soon!

Hey gang!
We can finally reveal that big news we hinted at last update: Frank & Zed has found its premiere! We’re super excited to announce that Frank & Zed’s first official screening will be held right here on our home soil at the 43rd Portland International Film Festival! Audiences will finally be able to watch the world’s greatest all-puppet horror movie on March 8th, 8:30pm at Cinema 21.
To find out more about the event (and buy tickets if you’ll be in town!) you can check out their site here: https://nwfilm.org/festivals/piff43/ . We may receive some comp tickets, but that’s still up in the air. For now, if you’d like to join us, we suggest grabbing tickets soon because they’ll likely disappear faster than a pile of squirrel brains in front of Zed!
Whew! It’s been a long journey since we started this project in the garage years ago, but it’s time to release Frank & Zed into the world. We hope you can join us, we plan to make the screening as fun and unique as the film itself, but understand many of you live far from the Pacific Northwest. We’ll keep you updated as more screenings and festivals begin happening. In the meantime know that you helped make this day happen. Thank you!
Best,
The Puppetcore Team
Hello Gang!
We are getting there! Whoa, it has been a long ride but I am still having fun. Right now we are working on the credits for the film and during the process have dug-up some fun behind the scenes shots.
Below is one of the first and most complicated shots in the film done while we were still in the 360 square foot garage (September 9th, 2014 to be exact).
Here's a peak at one of the final Forest shots that I'm hoping to sneak into the film.
Credits have been a lot of fun. Of course, we are gonna do something big and cool. It's in the beginning phase but I'm feeling very good about where it's going.
I do have some BIG NEWS coming but can't share just yet. I should be able to spill the beans in a couple weeks.
Best,
Jesse
