Warning!
The sound track for WARNING! is in Morse Code (which can be understood by amateur radio operators worldwide) because a vocal warning can be shut down, scrambled or ignored. The gravity of our current threat to democracy is too enormous to be overlooked.
Director Biography – Candy Kugel, Josh Omar Steffen
Candy Kugel, a longtime voting member of AMPAS and TV Academy, began her career in a commercial and TV programming studio in NYC. Currently the Museum of Modern Art is highlighting some of her work in their exhibit “It’s Alive!”– https://www.moma.org/calendar/events/11808
A supporter of indy films, she’s made well over a dozen award-winning independent shorts which are part of MoMA’s Film Archives.
Through Buzzco Associates, she has created TV programming, educational films & ads – most notably MTV’s moon man ID, Sesame St.,Talking About Sex for Planned Parenthood (Annecy Cristal), and WGBH’s Between the Lions (Emmy). It’s Still Me!” a 17-minute DVD has become a valuable resource for people with aphasia.

Director Statement
I did not make this film alone. I had a co-director who created the Morse Code sound track and an intern who made the paper puppets. Both, for different reasons, declined to be in the credits at this time because of this administration’s use of ICE. We are hopeful that under a new regime, everyone can be credited.
