Kathy Mullen, Michael Frith and Heather Asch lead a world-class team of puppeteers and crew who come together in New York City to make our No Strings films.

The shoot itself is intense with up to 60 artists and crew on set. The work that goes into making this come off seamlessly is something else again, with our puppets, props, models and sets hand made with utter devotion over a series of months, knowing the difference this production will make to thousands of lives.

For July 4th, we’re taking a little nostalgic detour to see Kathy Mullen, No Strings artistic director, on the set of Star Wars and co-puppeteering Yoda with the great Frank Oz.
