Secrets at Red Rocks

The television series Secrets at Red Rocks, adapted from New Zealand author Rachael King’s award-winning novel on Celtic selkie mythology, was filmed on the beautiful, rugged south coast of Wellington — just minutes away from our workshop floor. We were approached by director-producer David Stubbs to create two seal puppets — an adult and an adolescent — for this locally developed project from Libertine Pictures. It was important to Stubbs to present “real” seals for the actors to interact with, and we were thrilled to get the call to work on this home-grown production.
