Taylor Bibat Lee

Cameron Garrity (PUP '12-'17, '19, '22, '25) has news to share! “Taylor Bibat (NTI Fall '06; PUP '12, '13, '14, '15, '18), and I [recently] released a trailer for a documentary we are producing about our friend and fellow O'Neill alum, Adam Kreutinger (PUP '13, '14, '15, '16) the visionary artist, educator, and puppeteer whose work touched countless lives across multiple communities in Buffalo, NY and around the world. Last year, he passed away after a multi-year battle with brain cancer. This documentary began from conversations with those whose lives were transformed by Adam's work – from students to collaborators in the puppetry world, told with the same creativity and heart that Adam brought to everything he created, and will serve as a way to preserve and celebrate Adam's remarkable legacy and the philosophy that guided his life: ‘Make Art Every Day.’ Follow the journey and support the making of this film on Instagram @puppetnerddoc and at our website PuppetNerdDoc.com.” Thank you for sharing your news!

Freddie got to meet my bff Rocky AND genius puppeteer James Ortiz, who performed him on set!! He was SO excited.

We had to be on best behavior at the @saturnawards . What an honor to be there.

So grateful to have both puppeteered and handled cinematography for the “Morgan Vision” puppet segment on High Potential (S2 Ep13)! Getting to bring that reenactment to life from both sides of the lens was such a blast with many friends… hopefully we can all do more in the future! Streaming now on Disney+ & Hulu! Huge thanks to @samkojihale for bringing me on, @rudenberg_dp for letting me film this segment, and @maureenbharoocha for great direction on the episode!
