Recent Projects
Oddball Film+Video supplied archival golf clips along with footage of shell-shocked WWII soldiers for Channel 4 TV documentary "Tiger Woods: The Rise and Fall."

Oddball licensed Harvey Milk footage along with historical LGBT clips for "Thumbsucker" director Mike Mill's feature film "Beginners" starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer. This humoristic independent drama which portrays the intricacies of a father and son relationship, is to be released in June 2011.

Oddball's Eclectic Film Screenings
Oddball Films, the film component of Oddball Film+Video, presents an offbeat and enticing weekly cinema series featuring eclectic film programs such as their monthly "Strange Sinema" screenings which showcase oddities from the archives such as new finds, buried junk and rarely seen films. "Crazy Cats" featuring kitty clips and feline flicks and "The Lit Show" presenting a celebration of song, cinema and literature, are amongst the quirky programs which have been presented to our avid audiences.
Oddball Films also had the rare opportunity to present a new installment in the innovative interview-based series MESS (Media Ecology Soul Salon) featuring American troublemaker and culture jammer, John Law.
