I've said it before, and here I am saying it again:
HEAD is the movie that wouldn't die. And for a movie that had everyone betting against it it really has done something amazing.
And now here we are, coming up on five years since it's premiere screenings back in March 2015, prepping for a screening. A special fifth anniversary screening!
BE THERE!
I can't believe we're getting to do this screening. It's because of the fans we're here and this is happening. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!
Here's all the info about the screening! And here's a LINK FOR MORE!
Elmwood Productions is excited to bring the film to Sea Tea Comedy Theater for this special screening. It's the first in a series of events being hosted by the upcoming You Don't Say? - Puppet Improv show that begins at the theater this spring!
More about HEAD:
HEAD is a one of a kind film starring an all puppet cast in a throwback to the slasher films of the 1970's and 1980's. A group of twenty somethings go for a nice fall weekend camping trip and end up in the middle of nightmare they may never escape from.
Rated R for all the stuff you'd expect from a horror flick, like blood, four letter words, and puppet nudity.

As we are here in the last days of 2019 we want to say thanks.
Thank YOU for an awesome 2019! We have a great 2020 lined up with a bunch of surprises and flicks coming your way!
And thank you to all the "BERNICE, TOO" Kickstarter backers and supporters! The movie is definitely going to be something special!
And a thanks to the spots we screened this year, and got extra love from - MAC 650 Gallery & Artist Co-Op for screening "Animal Behavior", Two Roads Brewing Company for their Roadsmary's Baby film fest for having us as part of the nite with "The Risley Brothers in The Legend of Cotterville Road" and to the judges of the film fest for choosing us as first place! And to the crew at Hardcore Sweet Bakery for screening "The Jungle Man' with "Paper City Burnout" from Diabolical Films!
We had a blast this year! THANK YOU!
And start 2020 off right! Subscribe to Elmwood on YouTube!
We thank you for being with us in 2019, and next year is gonna be wild, don't miss a thing!
So many people were messaging me about it, and sharing links with me about it, and it warmed my heart to know people even thought of me and the Elmwood gang at this time.
I think that's part of Caroll's legacy. Kindness and thoughtfulness.
I was sad to read of his passing, and still am. He lead what was a wonderful life, and did many great things. And through the characters he created and performed taught us to be good people.
"Lead by example". This makes Caroll one of the great leaders of all time. And one of the greatest puppeteers that ever lived.
I'll miss him, and his performances. We're lucky to have them recorded so we can still watch them and share them for generations to come.
Every year around this time I make it a point to watch "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street". It may be the best thing Sesame Street ever produced. And Big Bird and Oscar are the heart and soul of the whole thing. Big Bird and Oscar... Caroll Spinney.
Thank you all again so much for your support. If you've watched the video first then you already know we had a delay in production which means the movie won't be out until 2020! If you didn't watch the video first, well, now you know!
This is a good thing. It's giving us more time to make this movie the best movie it can possibly be. And that is super important to us at Elmwood Productions!
The whole concept behind "Bernice, Too" is to be fun, weird, silly, and to make everyone who sees it smile. We're bringing back some old friends to be a part of the film, and guest puppeteers, more puppets, and even will be reaching out to the Kickstarter backers to join in on a day of shooting if you can! More details on that when the time is closer!
We've been at this for almost 20 years. How crazy is that? And without your support it couldn't have happened! We love you so much!
For those who "Kicked" in for the original sketch and the t-shirt we will be shipping them out in January, so make sure your info is up to date with Kickstarter and us!
Like we did with "HEAD" we'll also be making behind the scenes videos as we film, and will be posting them on Kickstarter for the backers first before hitting YouTube a week later. These videos are always a fun look into underground/independent film making, and you get to see the folks under the puppets too!
Again - THANK YOU! For your support and patience as we make "BERNICE, TOO" into our craziest flick yet!

Sesame Street aired it's first episode fifty years ago today.
So much has changed, and the show is still making waves. Pretty amazing.
It was a few years later I became obsessed with it and The Muppet Show... I was the perfect age at that time as both shows were running, and I was in awe of them.
The Kickstarter for "Bernice, Too" was a success! Did you miss out on it and still want to help the movie get made?

The lost "long" version of "Lock And Load! A Guide to Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse"
A fun short film Elmwood made in the wake of making "Josh & Todd" We needed a break from "big" projects.
So in the year following principal production of "Josh & Todd" we shot some goofy non-puppet stuff, and picked up on a few more episodes of 'Steve the Vampire". This one, "Lock and Load" always cracked me up. I totally forgot there was a longer version than the one we released. While going through the old archives I stumbled upon it, was glad to see the whole thing!
Hard to believe that was ten years ago! We've come so far since then!!!
"You have located the home of the Z.A.T.S. - Zombie Apocalypse Task Squad. We are dedicated to helping all Americans survive the upcoming Armageddon precipitated by the rising of the recently dead. Be sure to watch "Lock And Load" our instructional video including submissions from our supporters around the globe. Remember, the only way to Survive is to be Constantly Vigilant."
