Description

Oddball Films is a unique stock footage company specializing in offbeat footage. We have an extensive collection of rare, entertaining, eclectic and eye-opening subjects, as well as classic archival, historical and contemporary clips to support your project. Our images have been used in feature films, television, music videos, industrials and multimedia projects worldwide. Current Director and CEO, Tara Lee Ford, and Founder and Director for over twenty-five years, Stephen Parr, were friends for more than four decades, sharing a love for the arts and a desire to have unique expressions of art and culture be preserved and shown throughout the world. Oddball Films Inc continues Stephen's original mission of keeping, restoring, displaying and licensing historically significant and often truly one-of-a-kind unusual images. Tara Lee Ford worked closely with Stephen for decades to grow and refine his vision and develop the business. With a background in theater and dance, and having performed many times at Stephen's after-hours space, the infamous Club Generic and other experimental venues, Tara brings an artistic sensibility and an appreciation of the unconventional to her position. In recent years Stephen and Tara worked together on completing a three-part documentary research film to be released soon. Although Stephen is no longer physically with us, his spirit infuses every part of the business. Our ongoing mission is to keep the "oddball" in Oddball Films and share these treasures with the world!
