Amanda Louise Spayd is a gifted Ohio based mixed-media artist/sculptor of all things extraordinaire. As well as being a highly talented soap maker and perfumer. She is in all essence a "Maker" in its truest sense. Giving often overlooked items and textiles a possible past and mystifying future in her wayward creatures; the adorably spooked Dust Bunnies. So it only made perfect sense for Zealot Creative to seek out Amanda and continue the narrative of her Dust Bunnies through puppetry in a short stop-motion film aptly named "The Maker". A truly gorgeous and moving film that is a sincere testament to just how well Amanda's creatures translate over into animation, and leaving one with the screaming desire to know more about the world they inhabit.
