25...

Today is the day we as a team at Elmwood Productions call our anniversary.  We don't really have a set actual day. Elmwood existed before it was called Elmwood, but under a different name

Sometimes between summer 2001 and summer 2002 we started calling it Elmwood Productions. 

It was just Pete and I. He came up with the name after we found out another puppeteer was using a very similar name to what we were using.

Since we can't remember exact when the name was created we chose right in the middle for an anniversary date. 

So we here we are, starting our 25th year. Wow. Holy cow! 

We've got some fun stuff on the burner and I'm really excited to get all your eyes on it all! 

I love the folks I get to make all these crazy movies with... I'm a lucky man for sure 

Stay tuned! 

And until then make sure to catch up with all our work on our Elmwood YouTube Channel here-

And thank you all so much for all the support and love over the years!

There is so much more to see...

Dear fellow puppetheads and Muppetheads...

I'm seeing some posts pop up with folks being negative towards new works featuring the Muppets.
Let it go. If you're unhappy with it look for alternatives to bring you joy. Keep it positive and share and praise good work. There are so many other groups of puppeteers and puppet makers and film makers carrying on their traditions that Jim Henson and his team began 70 years ago. And in some cases maybe even truer to the innovation and storytelling paths they were paving...
And I'm not just talking about Elmwood Productions and what we do. But, I totally am as well!
So I'm here to share some alternatives to the "big guys".
Links below are to the YouTube Pages for these folks...
Take some time and check them out, maybe you'll find you new favorite puppets somewhere in this list! And most of these cats have no corporate funding, independent artists... These folks need your t-shirt and merch sales way more than the big companies!
In no particular order and by no means a complete list:
Of course we have Elmwood Productions, I'd be a fool not to mention us.

This is just a very tiny list, just a taste of what is out there. Take some time, expand our horizons...  

Also - remember - the people unhappy are usually the loudest. It doesn't make them a majority. These folks need to sit back, be happy with the years of entertainment they can look back on and continue to enjoy, and let the rest of the world like what they like.
