Victor Yerrid Email & Phone Number

If you are looking to create, develop, pitch, or produce a show with puppets – I can help. I have worked in television & film puppetry and live entertainment for over 25 years with The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Company, Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures, and lots more. No need to reinvent the wheel. Let’s just drive!Show Development – Maybe you have a fun idea for a puppet show, but aren’t sure how to make it happen. Together we can develop your pitch, create a pitch deck, and shoot a killer reel that will excite buyers and help get your project made. Pitching – Going in to talk about your fantastic new puppet project is great. Going in with a professional performer and an actual puppet is waaaaaay better. Let’s elevate your pitch and bring a smile to the development execs' faces. Production – If your project is green-lit and ready to shoot, you’ll want someone in the room with extensive and puppet-specific experience. As a DGA Director and SAG-AFTRA puppeteer, I have worked almost exclusively on puppet shows for my entire career. I can help you find the best puppet builders, costumers, and wranglers (what’s this?), and help guide you through the pre-production process as it relates to puppets. We can put together a diverse and stellar cast of performers who will truly bring your project to life and take your scripts beyond the page.Live Entertainment – Knowing how to work with actors is important for any project. When those actors are holding puppets, it requires a very specific skill set. I have worked as a director, consultant, and puppeteer for a wide range of theater and large venue projects including the internationally acclaimed orchestral concert series "Musical Adventures with Leopold". Let's go live! Puppeteer Training – Finding the right performers for a project can be extremely challenging. Keeping an eye towards diversity and equity is vital, and “training up” performers is a key part of the process. I have mentored and trained puppeteers for the Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Company, and elsewhere for many years. I care deeply about this art form. Passing on the knowledge that has been shared with me is not only a privilege, but the responsibility of those of us who are lucky enough to work in this wonderful, niche profession. Puppets are a blast and I’m here to help. Let’s make stuff!
