Most of my knowledge about the movie industry comes from Moving Pictures, so I've already got that down.

I had forgotten about the puppet shows, I've definitely heard about those - makes me think it would be worth making it more of a travelling show, but that could run on a single episode for years as it moves around, so doesn't give a reason for these to be made regularly (I may want to keep a TV crew around for future silly side stories).

I think I'll have to make it a pair of Gnome's pet projects, one that's been experimenting with recording rods and has built devices that use a magazine of rods for seamless recording and playback, and the other as director/showrunner. Probably working out of a shop front in Absalom showing short character pieces, with this intended as their first big show. I can speedrun the development of movies and TV through their various appearances, until they're selling scrying spheres for on-demand streaming.
