Pinocchio Comes to Life with creative director and puppet supervisor Georgina Hayns

Welcome to Twice 5 Miles Radio; I'm your host, James Navé. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce an exceptional guest, Georgina Hayns, who has an extraordinary talent in puppetry and stop-action movies and is known for her work in Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio. Our paths crossed unexpectedly when Georgina, enjoying a vacation in Taos, encountered my friend Janet and me during our regular afternoon walk. What started as a chance meeting on a dirt road blossomed into an engaging discussion about art, travel, and the nuances of life. Georgina, alongside her friend and colleague Shannon, shared insights from their experiences as puppet designers based in Portland. Though their stay in Taos was brief, we had the pleasure of sharing meals and stories. An Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences member, Georgina continues to inspire and innovate in animated storytelling. Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of puppetry, creativity, and behind-the-scenes stories with Georgina Hayns on Twice 5 Miles Radio. Enjoy the show.
