Here, at last, is PfO’s masterpiece of the summer. Risking life and limb (and heat sickness) the proud members of Plucked from Obscurity toiled under astronomical heat indexes and the unrelenting humidity of an Iowan summer wa-a-ay back in June in order to bring you this latest vignette!

A loving parody of the bygone era […]

The third installment in the TINA series is up for all those diligent viewers. Again, we issue a frank apology on the ridiculous wait those of you had to endure and promise we haven’t given up. Episode Four will be right around the corner!

Half-Glocked: The Rise & Fall of One Man.

Fresh from the frenzy of a single weekend filled with writing, acting, filming and editing, Corri and Nat present to you their entry for the Des Moines 48-Hour Film Festival’06. Can you tell it was done in 48 hours?

Oh, and no. They did not make it […]

PfO fans should be glad to hear that principal filming of This Is Not the Autobahn has been completed. Now begins the daunting task of editing the massive pile of footage we acquired. This latest project should be an interesting diversion from the mockumentary-style films we usually stick to. Keep an eye out for some […]

Just when you thought you’d heard the last of us, we decide to show our faces again. This time, in the form of a rather extravagant undertaking, if we do say so ourselves. Yes, after being so criminally dormant for the past few… half a year, actually, the members of PfO have picked […]
