Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Abruptio (2023)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Abruptio was made using only realistic, lifelike hand puppets in real settings, with no CGI backgrounds and no actors wearing prosthetic makeup, an approach director Evan Marlowe said had never been done.
- Puppeteer Danny Montooth lip-synced each line of dialogue, played on loop on director Evan Marlowe's iPad, until the lighting, camera movement, mouth motion and eye line were all just right.
- The coronavirus shut down shooting of Abruptio in 2020, when director Evan Marlowe estimated a good 30% of the film was ready and another 30% still had to be shot.
