Start working on your costume! *Part 1 of this conversation can be found on BEN Around Philly – Episode 29.
Finally, hear the scoop on Andy Rothwell – self-described hobby videographer and creator of Monster Thrashin’. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth checking out (below). Curbed Philly describes Monster Thrashin’ as, “an odyssey through Philadelphia through the eyes of a few skateboarding puppets. At each location: the Delaware waterfront, the top of the Art Museum steps, Love Park, and more, each puppet launches up from a spray-painted board, its airborne arc caught in slow-motion until it lands perfectly on the other side. It’s hilarious, only a little irreverent, and oddly very touching. Take a look.”
