What Thingy Fans say....
"I laughed, I cried, I giggled.
What a truly reflective, passionate
and endearing work of art."

"It's 08:30 and I'm watching College Football in the hotel room
thinking back on what a life changing experience Mission:G.I.G.G.L.E was....I still think it was a pretty perspective changing ideal.

"Mission:G.I.G.G.L.E. pushes the envelope of what was achieved
in the earlier Thingys, held together by Hutchings' very
likeable onscreen presence, consistent laughs and
the off-kilter verve of his filmmaking."

"I started like "what?" and I ended like "yeah"
and in the middle I'm like "😁😁😁"

Q: When is Mission:G.I.G.G.L.E. next on the BIG screen?
A: Mission:G.I.G.G.L.E. plays regularly as part of Presents Inc pop-up Thingyma events.
Check out the Presents Inc Events page for listings, both past, present and future!
These are mainly in the Greater Manchester Area, but Thingys have also screened
in other areas of the UK as well as Milan, Italy.
Q: How can I find out more about how Hutchings went about making 5th QTR?
A: Hutchings is currently working on an accompanying book on Mission:G.I.G.G.L.E.
that will also serve as an overview of their first 10 years of Thingymaking.
Q: Would Presents Inc be interested in my audience reaction video or review?
A: Certainly! Please send links of videos and reviews to us via the Contact form.
We reply to every message and love to share your reactions and reviews on this site.
Q: How much of the joke telling was real?
A: Hutchings told all of the jokes in Mission:G.I.G.G.L.E. to all the people shown in
each scene. For the street-bound joke telling, Hutchings didn't brief any of the cast on
the jokes, aiming to capture natural reactions. To see more of Hutchings performing live,
watch the curated playlist on the Crytearswhileon page.
Q: How can I book Mission:G.I.G.G.L.E. for my film event?

and situations as possible. From cinemas to pub function rooms, from arts
festivals to house parties, Thingys are for all to see! All Presents Inc would love in
return is for you to share with them any audience reaction clips you record.
