THE OUTSIDER has enjoyed quite the life in the past year, and though it's screened in front of many appreciative crowds, it's time we released it publicly so that you and the whole world can see where we started as Pagan Circus. We can't wait to see what you think about it!

Our award-winning film used a blanket as an entire landscape! Sometimes the best solution is right under your nose (or draped over your bed). #indiefilmmakers #puppetfilm #foundobjects #setbuilding #theoutsider #madeinportland

Find us on Yo*Tube or T*kTok. We have lots more videos there over a minute in length (which means we can’t post them here 🫤)

Circles: if you're a maker, you're gonna need `em. Schneider rips the lid off an extremely useful but easily overlooked shop tip. Circles everywhere. #circles #propmaking #diyprojects #makertips

We didn't know it when we started filming, but our film "The Outsider" needed more monsters than we had planned. We went back to the creature shop and just figured it out! #puppetfilm #creatureshop #indiefilmmaking #handmade #puppets #hplovecraft #theoutsider
