Outpost worldwide has provided, funding, technical support, and crew for Feature Films and Documentaries such as Fight Night, Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula, Through Martha’s Eyes, Last Ounce Of Courage, 72 Musicians, To Tell You The Truth, Thine Eyes, and Let Freedom Ring. These films have cumulatively been accepted into 24 film festivals worldwide in the last year with some winning the top honors at these film festivals.
rigged001In 2005 after the wrap of a yearlong production of an eighty-episode drama for Telemundo/NBC, Outpost found itself with a large equipment base and a desire to help out Local filmmakers in the Kansas City area. Outpost partners and employees began the search for local producers and directors who would fit the criteria of the local struggling filmmakers with a story.
First up, Fight Night, directed by local producer/director Jonathan Dillon. Michael Dublin is a full-time con man working the underground boxing circuit. A lonely drifter on the run from a past best forgotten, he moves from one scam to anther, leaving a trail of enemies in his wake. Dublin invents his best con yet when he meets Katherine Parker, a female fighter with the skills to take down a man twice her size. In a scheme Dublin calls “fight rigging, in reverse”, the two hit the road working fights in seedy basement bars, abandoned warehouses and backwoods county fairs. But when Dublin’s shady past catches up with them, the stakes are suddenly higher and more dangerous than they’d ever imagined.

Outpost provided funding, technical support and crew for Fight Night, which to date has been an official selection and winner of multiple film festivals including: Winner Best Actress, So Cal Film Festival (Huntington Beach, California); Winner Grand Jury Prize, Dances With Film (Los Angeles, California); Winner, Best Feature Film, Radar Film Festival (Hamburg, Germany); Winner, Best Cinematography, Action On Film International Film Festival (Los Angeles, California); Official Selections of: International Film Festival Thailand-Phuket (Phuket, Thailand); Las Vegas International Film Festival (Las Vegas, Nevada); Melbourne International Film Festival (Melbourne, Australia); Big Bang Film Festival (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania); Big Island Film Festival (Waikoloa, Hawaii); Salento International Film Festival (Salento, Italy); Young Cuts International Film Festival (Montreal, Canada).

As of April 2009, Peace Arch Distribution is distributing Fight Night, worldwide. It can be rented at BlockBuster, Red Box, and Time Warner On-Demand. To learn more about Fight Night go to riggedthefilm.com.

“Rigged” was shot by Hanuman Brown-Eagle, and is being celebrated for wonderfully kinetic fight scenes. Outpost Worldwide is collaborator and production partner in the film.

“They only select 11 features into the Dances With Films fest from a countless amount submitted,” Dillon said. “To even be in the festival was an honor, and to win the grand jury is beyond words.”
