Carnival Cinema's Interests
General
Television
To see the rest check out Carnival Cinema's Youtube Channel
Carnival Cinema is a production company set up to promote and reveal the world of the modern day 'carnival'.
From Circus, Sideshow and Vaudeville to cabaret, music and Comedy that is the world of 'Carnival Cinema'. We primarily document the performing arts.
Carnival Cinema is run by Hamish McCormick - shooting, cutting and directing.
He collaborates with Captain Frodo - "the Incredible Rubberman" on particular projects when Frodo has time in between performing around the world and bringing his unique sideshow clowning to the people - at present he is with 'La Clique' - for The Famous Spiegeltent. La Clique is an inspired melange of cabaret, new burlesque, circus and contemporary vaudeville.
"follow your dreams"
History -
With over 30 years of performing experience between them, circus/sideshow performers Hamish McCormick and Captain Frodo decided to combine their love of films and the circus.In doing so they set up a company that could produce short films, documentaries, and 'behind the scenes' of live shows or have a clothing label. Basically produce anything that came out of their slightly warped brains and put it under one banner.
And in doing so help promote the world that they exist in.

The Adventures of Captain Frodo - Dvd Availiable Now!!
The Adventures of Captain Frodo.
Have you ever wondered what makes a person want to swallow a sword or squeeze their body through the heads of two tennis racquets?
Captain Frodo, the incredible rubberman, has travelled the world as a circus sideshow performer for the last twenty years. First performing as the assistant in his father's magic show and more recently displaying his bizarre and unusual skills with The Happy Sideshow, Circus Oz and La Clique in the Famous Spiegel Tent.
In a DVD that combines phenomenal physical skills, impeccable comic timing and a penchant for the freaky, Captain Frodo tells the tales of how he ended up performing with sideshows, freakshows and circuses around the globe.
You are hereby most warmly invited to behold a colossal combination of everything that is great in sideshow achievement.
"Faintly nauseating but irresistibly impressive!"
