Who We Are

For more than 10 years, a group of guys has been creating their own worlds. These alternate realities are the outcomes of insane "what if" scenarios and take place in an environment where the norm is anything but normal. 

These were just ideas that lingered, matured, and were passed on verbally like folklore. Until now. Until Possumbox.

Possumbox was born to bring these fantasy worlds into the light. But put more simply - Possumbox is a production group. And while our videos below show that we're serious, we've got bigger dreams.

How do you spend your summers? Probably not having as much fun as this guy.

We all know the feeling � you need to buy some brains, but you don�t know where to get them. Well, let Dr. Barney Braino ply you some wares!


Not all ghosts are scary. And yet, not all ghosts are polite, either. This is the story of one such ghost.

When you grow up on a farm, you can tell just how fake Hollywood special FX are. And Blake Bledsoe would never let you settle.

Where We're Going

Within a year, we'll be undertaking our first serious project documenting the life and times of Austin radio personality John Aielli. We also plan to work with Lights. Camera. Help. to offer our production skills pro bono to non-profit organizations in the Austin area.

Throughout all of that, we'll be making more shorts, mockumentaries, and fake commercials to keep the LAFFS coming. Here are a few productions we have coming up:

  • What good's a newspaper in the age of the internet? "Why, just try wrapping a fish in the internet," says the grizzled newspaper salesman. "Or using the internet to line your bird cage! Try using the internet to stop a gushing neck wound!" Clearly, the newspaper industry's getting desperate.

  • For centuries, archeologists have been baffled by the discovery of ancient skeletons the world over. Where did these skeleton people come from? What must the ancient world, in which skeletons roamed the earth, have looked like? Now, the experts have the answer.

  • "What is your favorite part of a woman?" It's a timeless question, the inspiration for countless sonnets and love songs. And it's a question we've put to 9, middle-aged to elderly southern gentlemen, for your education and delight.

How You Can Help

Right now, we've got a pretty good set of equipment, but our biggest impediment to making more of this great stuff is the cost of renting equipment for our shoots. So with this campaign, we're hoping to beef up our equipment so we can film just about anything, anywhere. These are the immediate items we're looking to check off our list - added all up, it's right around our campaign goal of $5,000:

  • Green screen backdrop/support
  • Green screen lights
  • Fresnel light kit
  • Softbox
  • Diva-lite
  • Steadicam setup for DSLR
  • C-stands
  • 11-16 mm wide angle lens
  • Flex-fill
  • Wacom tablet for animation
What Else You Can Help With Besides Money

We've set an ambitious goal. And we'll admit, we're not out to change the world - yet. But we feel there's always room out there to take a few minutes to laugh each day, and that's what our aim is.

So the easiest thing you can do is laugh at our videos (hopefully we don't have to ask you to do that and instead you just laugh naturally), and then share them with a few friends who enjoy them as well.

This is like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but we don't want Kevin Bacon - we want all of your friends to see our labors and donate, if possible. Wait, I take that back - if you can get Kevin Bacon to watch and promote us, we'll take that too.

Above All Else...

Thanks for stopping by, reading this far, and hopefully enjoying our videos! We can have all the talent and humor in the world, but without supporters like yourself, we're going nowhere. We want to go somewhere and we want you along for the ride!
