Francesca will have an installation using elements of her new film “Anthony” including puppets, sets and a video screen playing scenes from the movie. She uses paper mache and recycled materials. Her intent is to provoke a sense of creative potential in the world around us. Francesca will be present on both weekends to demonstrate her methods of puppet construction, and set construction. She will give a talk on the joys of independent film-making at the film premiere on May 31st.
