    ON SALE: Film Premiere & Live A/V Event (Chicago, July 10th)



    Get Tickets Here »

    The entire Outliers crew is thrilled to announce the first OVI film premiere and live audio/visual performance, taking place July 10th in Chicago at Lincoln Hall.  The night kicks off with a screening + Q&A session in what used to be the historic 3 Penny Cinema.  We’ve got an incredible lineup of artists from the soundtrack (Shigeto / Sweatson Klank / Loscil), and a special collaborative A/V performance of the film’s material between Deru and Scenic.  We hope you'll come out to join us.

    Important: Only the first 200 ticketholders will have access to the screening portion of the night, so buy tickets early if you want to see OVI projected larger-than-life in a historic room with amazing sound. 

    Also, we're still working with the city to find a venue for a free, public daytime event and will keep all of you posted as that progresses.  Thanks to everybody for patiently waiting for your rewards as we finalize the film - we now expect to be shipping in June.  It marks almost one whole eventful year since we began musing about Outliers, and we know you all understand.  

    Cheers!
    Outliers Crew

    Did your friends miss out on Outliers?



    Hello Friends,

    If you've got friends or family who happened to miss out on the Kickstarter campaign but are still interested in owning some of the merchandise, we've launched an online store where we're offering up some of the surplus goodies for pre-sale.  If you backed us at a certain tier but regret not getting in on more rewards, now's a good time to act because there are very limited extras.  Be sure to use promo code "OVIPRESALE" for a 10% discount, good until May 1st, and be sure to let your friends know that they can have the same beautiful gear hanging on their walls and playing on their TV's come late May.

    Brett Carlson's stills from the making of Outliers.

    Greetings Outliers backers,

    Brett Carlson, one of the cinematographers that shot with us on the trip, has posted a brilliant set of stills illuminating the making of Outliers.  We think it's a stunning set that represents the spirit of our journey and process behind working with Tim Navis, Kim Holtermand, and Deru in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.  

    This is a behind-the-scenes and doesn't even begin to reveal the main features that Tim and Kim focused on in the film.  Amazing.

    Also, another reminder as we're deep in post-production on the film.  Don't forget to tell your friends about our Facebook page and blog.  We're still on track to ship some time mid-May, but keep an eye out on the Facebook page for more regular project updates than you'll find via the Kickstarter page.
