Outpost Worldwide is proud to announce that the WWII documentary ‘Let Freedom Ring: The Lesson is Priceless‘ has been accepted into the 2009 GI Film Festival, May 13-17 in Washington D.C. The educational film will play on Sunday, May 17th at 9:00 am in the Main Theater of the Carnegie Institute of Washington.

The GIFF is open to all filmmakers, and presents films from international and domestic filmmakers that highlight the US Military.

Three years ago, Outpost Worldwide and WWII veteran George Ciampa set out on an educational journey to witness the return of five veterans to Belgium, and the site of the ‘Battle of the Bulge’. Accompanied by four young Southern California high school teachers, the veterans recounted their memories of the Battle, and visited many present-day Belgians who could vividly remember their loss of freedom under Nazi Germany occupation. ‘Let Freedom Ring: Memories of France’ is the next chapter in this growing documentary series, and gives teachers an opportunity to interact with those who survived the war and Nazi occupation.

In 2007 Outpost Worldwide discovered the zany horror comedy Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula, written and directed by Timothy Friend, of the production partners, Big Atom Films.
Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula combines the rough and tumble world of 1930’s era gangster movies with the violent gothic atmosphere of a classic horror film.
When a robbery goes bad and one of their companions is shot, Bonnie and Clyde are forced to seek help at a nearby mansion, home to the twisted Dr. Loveless and his imprisoned sister, Annabel.

But, Loveless has a secret. Deep in his cellar, the recently revived Dracula awaits…
Outpost Worldwide also provided funding, technical support, and crew for Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula, which to date has been an official selection [Read More]

During 2006 Outpost had the opportunity to collaborate with director Chuck Cranston, of Telemark Pictures, and Washburn University on the period film Through Martha’s Eyes.
Through Martha’s Eyes is based in part on historical events and tells the story of Martha, a young African American woman sold into slavery in 1856 to work and live at an Indian Mission School in what is now Kansas. Thinking Kansas Territory was the land of freedom, and that she would soon be set free, Martha travels from Missouri to her new home at the Mission. She soon finds out things are much different than she thought. While trying to manage as a seamstress Martha is forced to help change cultural beliefs among Indian children, and is witness to the early skirmishes that lead to Civil War. Breathtaking vistas, romance, friendship and defiance all come together in a dramatic conclusion to this powerful story from the American frontier.
Outpost Worldwide provided technical support, crew, and some funding to Through Martha’s Eyes which has also enjoyed festival success. [Read More]
