Principle photography began in late September 2008 on a new art film called Das PUPPETS. The strange story of Dirty Fritz, a lonely artist that falls in love with another man's wife, Mama Baer. His passion soon turns to madness and Fritz seeks to steal Mama Baer away to his secret lair of enchanted puppets with the aid of a potion provided by the Witch Karlotta, but her magic comes with a price. This film is a weird journey into the animal passions of the often strange actors employed at Studio FUZZ, a film studio set somewhere in Germany in the mid 1960s and along the way we get caught up in the surreal nature of Studio Fuzz from this dark comedy. Oh yes this is another twisted tale from writer director Fred Wilder who pays homage to many great dada, and fluxus artists, and surreal filmmakers of the past in Das Puppets. The film features original DaDa music and Fluxus compsistions by Kommissar Hjuler und Mama Baer of Germany, and The Sex Socks from California.USA.
Our film is in post production. We still need some funds to complete Das
Puppets.
