![]() Regardless, “Frank and Zed” still received the award for Best Feature Film at KIFF2020, with an apology from Blanchard for not being able to screen the film. ![]() In 2020 the film was included among the selections for the Klamath Independent Film Festival slated to make its world premiere at the Ross Ragland Theater, but contractual issues prevented a public screening at the time. ![]() Following familiar classic film tropes of old monster movies, the film is both a loving tribute and hilarious parody of Universal monster movies of the 1930s and 40s – done entirely with puppets. The pair rely on each other for survival with their master long-since deceased, terrorizing villagers and running amok in an old European village from their castle in the hills. The studio has made a name for itself in the film industry specializing in horror-themed puppet shorts, and for seven years worked feverishly to develop its first feature-length monster movie, titled “Frank and Zed.”Ī blend between a buddy-comedy and a horror (think “Young Frankenstein” meets “The Dark Crystal”), the film follows Frank, a Frankenstein monster, and Zed, a zombie. “Frank and Zed” is the passion project of filmmaker and professional puppeteer Jesse Blanchard – proprietor of Puppetcore Films based in Portland. A film unlike anything ever seen, seven years in the making plus an additional two to reach Klamath audiences, will finally have a public screening at the Oregon Tech Auditorium on Saturday, May 14. The following is a press release from Klamath Film.
