‘Pirate History’ part one

Pirate Movie Production have just released the first part of their Pirate History documentary.

It features the most famous Pirate of them all, Gigi Rüf, taking you through the back story of this collective that was formed in Vorarlberg, Austria back in 2002 with their first film, Decent Frames.

It turns out, their penchant for shooting on "8mm guns" merely came down money issues rather than creative vision, but sometimes the best things in the world happen by chance.

Look out for part two dropping next week.
