[edit] Plot
The film is about Tegan, a 12 year old student who finds out where meat comes from, and decides to become a vegetarian. She must contend with Elenore the Carnivore(ironically played by Pippa Black who has campaigned for PETA). The plot is based partly on an auto-biographical story of the director, 29 year old Marisa Martin, who became a vegetarian when she was 12 after visiting an abattoir.[2]
[edit] Production
The puppets were made using aluminium foil, epoxy putty, polymer clay, foam and magnets(in the feet to help them stay up). Filming the puppets was a long process, taking around a week to make six seconds of film.[2]
