CLEO IN THE UNIVERSE
In July and August of 2009, Sirocco Research Labs was working on its very first short: Cleo In The Universe. We built spacesuits and space shuttle sets and Lt. Baby Baby -- the friendliest muppet-style puppet in the history of muppet-style puppets. I'd tell you he's handsome and charming, but admittedly I'm biased because I'm also his handler and voice. And on set, when nobody was looking, I even snuck a kiss from the star of the movie!

Lucky me.
