Films
Since 1999 our bread and butter has been independent film, specifically documentary film. Captain Pixel Productions has produced one feature film and a number of short films that have won awards from film festivals all over the country. Our feature, Fans and Freaks: The Culture of Comics and Conventions has been distributed by Diamond Comics. The film is also available here.
In this feature length documentary you will be introduced to the weird and wild world of fandom. Some types of fandom includes anime, science fiction, horror, fantasy and gaming. The film features interviews with Karen Black (House of 1,000 Corpses), Jerry Only (The Misfits) and Dick Warlock (Halloween II) along with fans from conventions. Featured in this film are a wrestling match with the members of monster rock band GWAR and finale recorded for the Guineas Book of World Records! This film is a must see.

Tasty Weed: A Celebration of Poke Sallet
Do you think a festival celebrating a weed sounds odd to you? It does to us so we checked it out. The weed in question is poke sallet and it's used for food, ink, and even as a treatment for H.I.V. You won't believe the process fans of poke sallet go through just to make it edible. Check out this film about a unqiue group of people and a unique plant.
