Behind the Scenes

The Fuzzy Dog puppet takes a moment to wave to his fans @ Bent Image Lab, our kanine star from Honda Dream Commute.

“In Honda Dream Commute, Our intention was to create a dream that felt ideal but also had some insanity at the edges of it.” – Solomon Burbridge, Director

“We wanted to give this world a studio feeling like Pee-Wee’s Playhouse and Mr. Rodgers but with an over the top feeling of an acid trip.”  – Joshua Cox, Director
