Frown Town: Made of Mission « Mission Mission

Steve and Andy send us word of their upcoming internet series Frown Town:

For over a year now we’ve been hard at work on a intricately crafted magical internet puppet show about wayward kids kicking it in a vacant lot. It’s got spiteful stillborns, pyromaniacal gingers, spastic sugar addicts and we made it right here in the Mission. In our garage, as a mater of fact. After a year of work the scripts are writ, the puppets are stitched, and the sets are coming up, but we’re a high def video camera away from being able to set the show in motion.

Their last blog post details how all the materials and inspirations for their puppets come from the Mission, from scrounging foam from the discarded furniture lining our streets, accessorizing at One $ Store, and swiping the latest fashions from folks in Dolores Park. The puppets look great so far!

They are still getting off the ground, so if you want to help out in a way other than leaving your scabies-infested couch on the street, you can donate at their kickstarter page.
