Letter to Tim Burton

Open letter from Régis to Tim Burton
“Projet commun Tim et Régis ”

7 September 2023,

Bonjour Tim Burton,

Tim,

I found the link to your official account on your official website.

You never really know who you're talking to in this technological world, I hope it's you.

My name is Régis Antoine, I'm a puppeteer. When I show my creations to my audience, they often tell me that you are my inspiration. That is not the case at all. My creations may be reminiscent of your universe, but no! It's my universe. However, I am extremely flattered to be compared to you. Great master of dark finesse.

I was struck by pancreatitis a few months ago and this experience changed my life. I stopped drinking alcohol altogether, and this allowed me to finally connect with my powerful inner self, which had been dormant for so long.

I have a lot of time because I'm not working at the moment. From morning to night and sometimes even at night, I'm devoured by a creative energy, a feeling that you must certainly know.

I created a story, a beautiful story, and I would have liked to share it with you. The characters are, of course, puppets. Do you know the world of puppetry? Certainly, stop motion... but my universe is more about string puppets.

I'm sure my story would appeal to you, and why not consider a collaboration?

I'm in Belgium, but nothing seems impossible to me after what I've been through.

I hope you read this message, creative friendships to you, Tim...

Régis
