Plan 9 From Outer Space

When I moved back to CT from Florida in September of 2002 once of the first things Russ Werlebird said to me was "When are we gonna start making puppet movies?"

And pretty much right then we started.

One of our original ideas was to do a remake of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", as we were both Ed Wood fans and thought that would be a ton of fun to do.

Then everything else happened... And it has been an amazing amount of everything else. And Elmwood Productions has made some amazing things and even collected a few awards for it.

Last year I brought up how we never did get to make Plan 9. And Alex Sims challenged me. And soon after he handed a script for a remake/tribute/parody of Plan 9.... And we spent this summer shooting it.

Yup. After 22 years Elmwood Productions has released

The Detailer.

This may be considered vintage at this point. I've had this glue gun for 19 years and it still going, I got it as a Christmas gift in 2003, from the first wife. Craft supplies don't always last long and this glue gun has seen some abuse, but it's still going. This thing has outlived two marriages hahaha...

It was discontinued years ago, and I'm glad I have an extra one. Because when this one goes I'll be bummed out for sure. Fingers crossed it'll be around for a while!
