Synopsis
Bartholomew, a struggling thirty something puppet, dreams of becoming a Hollywood Star just like his father. In a last ditch effort to achieve his life-time goal, he seizes an opportunity to audition for his perfect job, but his dream is threatened. He is different to all the other actors – not only are they 2D, but they are also cool, calm and confident, unlike Bartholomew who is clumsy, awkward and…a puppet. In order to succeed he takes the liberty of changing his appearance to give him an added boost to fit in…which has disastrous consequences. In a comedic story with heart, Bartholomew shows he has perseverance and determination, but ultimately he must learn that in order to achieve his dreams he must be himself, and the dream will follow him.
