Her feature documentary It Came From Kuchar, following cult filmmaking duo George and Mike Kuchar and also featuring footage from Oddball Films, premiered at the 2009 South by Southwest Film Festival.

SF Doc Fest is fully underway, and Oddball Films is making its mark! We provided footage to two opening night films, Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk and Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton, and our director Stephen Parr heads to the Roxie Theater next Wednesday, June 13th at 7:15 PM for another iteration of Sonic Oddities, a live cinema-sound collaboration featuring local musician bran(...)pos. Sonic Oddities LiveTuesday, June 13th 7:15 PM
Sonic Oddities is Stephen Parr’s cinematic and auditory collision of
film shorts, clips, fragments and reprocessed sounds. Drawn from his company Oddball Films' 50,000-film archive, this cinematic trek through the auditory
oddities of film history features
bizarre commercials, Religious propaganda films, campy movie trailers and Italian Spy films
colliding with scenes of sunken jetliners, audio test tones and European
animation.
With a live musical score and mix by bran(...)pos and Stephen Parr
