Artisan offbeat comedy you didn't know you needed

The creative team behind puppet series Fogtown (and hidden comedy sketches that only the coolest people watch)

Welcome to Hapstance Films!

Hapstance Films began with the indie heist comedy Coup de Cinema, then expanded into a creative team dedicated to joyful and eccentric shenanigans on YouTube.

Our Creative Journey
Next stop: Fogtown!

In the last few years, we pivoted much of our efforts toward our dream project Fogtown — a puppet-based mystery/comedy show for an all-ages audience.

Fogtown resonates at Bay Area Maker Faire

In October 2024, members of the Fogtown team took the puppet-based mystery show on the road for a live demo of our production techniques at the beloved tech event, Maker Faire. We showed off an exclusive playable piece of our in-development Fogtown videogame, too!

Leadfinger: 20th Anniversary!

Join us on YouTube for the 20th anniversary of Leadfinger, our first feature length film (we were in high school — it's an absurdly silly time). Previously only available on homemade DVD, this 2004 action/comedy just got its long-awaited online debut (as well as a new, retrospective director's commentary)

After winning hearts (and awards!) in 2021 with the world's first finger puppet show reenactment of an actual internet argument, Finger Feuds is set to continue as a web series with additional chapters —currently in production! Watch the original short, I Need His Blood For My Poisons, here.

In production: Finger Feuds
