The Puppeteer

The film is about a Puppeteer Jim Hammond who brings to life The Day of the Dead celebration in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He is a master who makes amazing huge puppets of skeletons, spirits, and mystery characters. He is the conductor of the orchestra of this Mexican holiday in the city mentioned above. These uncolored plain figures just lie in the dark corner without his touch. The master creates a special character for each puppet and with the help of festival participants, he enlivens these puppets. The film explores why is important for people to join this festival and what this celebration means for them as well.
