I wanted people to take that away with them. He comes face to face with fate and time itself before getting pulled out of the trunk by his grandfather who says its not your time yet, you will learn these lessons in time and everything looks brighter after a cup of tea. So the boy gets too curious and looks inside grandfathers trunk and gets pulled in and goes into an Alice in Wonderland-type journey and experiences his grandfathers box in a very real sense. He then askes his grandfather if he has a box, he says of course but mine is much bigger, its a trunk. It’s also the story itself, the young boy goes to his grandfathers place for his birthday and his grandfather gives him a box, his lessons learned box – which he will take through life with him, anything that he comes across, any trials and tribulations will go into your box.

I doubled what I wanted, I didn’t know what to expect, which was the nice thing about it. It did amazingly well and the response from the world was really astounding. From there I did the kick start, wrote the script and built Digby, the first puppet. So I said yes…and then realised I said yes and thought well I better get to work. She funds artists around the world to do short films and gets them started. It started when my parents and I had a gallery exhibit at the AFA gallery in New York and Heather Henson came to see our art and we spoke, she asked if I wanted to do a puppet short film. We know your new project, Lessons Learned, came to reality through the kick start process.
