Title:
The Detectives of Noir Town
NFSA ID

The combination of live action and puppetry in The Detectives of Noir Town, which you can watch here in full, offers a playful take with the tropes of film noir. The film comes complete with a murder, voice-over narration and a femme fatale.
To make The Detectives of Noir Town, Andrew Chambers taught himself puppetry. The film is voiced by David Collins (The Umbilical Brothers), Nick Boshier (Beached Az) and film and TV actress Zoe Carides.
