Join Dale Dougherty for a Fireside Chat with Derek Kessler, Ana Roure, and David Thulin, three of the participants of the inaugural Maker Faire Two-Minute Film Festival whose short films were chosen for screening at Maker Faire Bay Area 2025.
Derek, Ana, and David will share their creative visions and talk about how they focused their maker skills through the lens of cinematic storytelling. From costume design to animatronics to prop making, their films show the amazing things that can happen when imagination meets innovation.
Special guest Jesse Velez, owner and lead designer of Raptor House FX, will provide his insight on the use of practical effects in film and offer tips for budding filmmakers.
The Maker Faire Two-Minute Film Festival debuted in 2025 to encourage makers to showcase their skills in the universal storytelling vehicle of film. Judges for the entries included models and miniatures expert Kayte Sabicer (The Dark Knight Rises, The Mandalorian), Pixar Senior Assistant to the Director Hannah Chu (Elio, the upcoming Gatto), and Raptor House FX Lead Designer Jesse Velez, who has created animatronic and puppetry projects for Netflix, 20th Century Fox, and Sony Pictures.
