Scott Land Marionettes 

Scott Land is a puppeteer at the top of his game. His seasoned performing skills are on display in nearly every scene of Paramount Pictures' Team America: World Police.

His clientele reads like a "Who's-Who" list of Hollywood: Sylvester Stallone, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg, Whoopi Goldberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, Pee Wee Herman, Tom Hanks, Rod Stewart, Meg Ryan and many more.

Scott was a festival favorite last year with his legendary marionette: Michael Jackson.

Louis Pearl

Louis Peral has been bubbling professionally since 1980, when he started the Tangent Toy Company.  He started performing in 1983 with a show at exploratorium in San Francisco.

He has written two books about bubbles and made a video called "Lights, Camera, Bubbles!".

This is a short blurb on Louis, but it's much easier for the bubbles to do the talking.  Check out the video below and get a glimps into "The Greatest Bubble Show on Earth".
