Logline: The Puppet Show is a dark comedy short film about coming to grips with the nature of existing. Barry, a down-on-his-luck primary school teacher, is putting on a puppet show for his school. This show is going to be his magnum opus, a masterpiece to prove to everyone he really is somebody. However, things fall apart when his star puppet, Larry, becomes self-aware and questions everything. From hilarity to insanity, the tension between man and puppet builds to a breaking point.
