Scum Crew Pictures is a film LLC based out of Austin, Texas. It has it roots dating back 20 years, and has now finally taken hold as a film producing company. The members of this company have worked on numerous short, feature-length, industrial, fiction and documentary films over the years, but their most successful work to date was "Über Goober", a film about Gamers. This full-length feature documentary has played around the globe, inspired great reviews, and won a few awards along the way. Scum Crew Pictures is a small independent filmmaking company with a lot of heart and hard work behind it, and that heart and hard work shows. We're currently filming another feature length documentary, and hope to raise enough money through documentaries to begin narrative work in the future.
