Co-partnered by ‘New Form Digital’ and ‘The Jim Henson Company’, the film was well-appreciated by the audience and in the year 2015 ‘Vimeo’ funded its 6-episode web series.

Ligouri’s excellent filmmaking skills didn’t go unnoticed and before he could wrap his mind around this new found fame, his audience flooded him with praise and adulation.
