Description: Through an escalating series of torture, a possessed sock puppet takes embodiment of fear, chaos, and willful self-destruction. "Puppet" illustrates the masochistic tendencies of the creative person, metaphorically telling a story of an artists work taking over, and ultimately destroying their life. #patricksmith #animation Awards: Best Animation, Northampton Independent Film Festival.
