 Men In Black
Review panelists said:
"Very entertaining. Flawless puppetry, masks, special effects. All interplanetary creatures seemed truly alive with expressive movement and individual personalities." "The not-quite realistic use of puppets as alien beings is stylistically consistent with the tongue-in-cheek humor of the film. An outstanding use of Puppetry in a film."

Men In Black
Producers Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald

 Being John Malkovich
Review panelists said:
"More than any contemporary film, this story has brought "puppeteer" to center stage in the public's consciousness." "Finally a movie about a modern day puppeteer. The puppets were well crafted, the manipulation was creative and precise. But more than that, it's cultish appeal and quirkiness helps to open up a new breed of puppet appreciates - people giving puppetry a second thought.
Being John Malkovich
Producers Vincent Landay, Sandy Stern, Steve Golin, and Michael Stipe
