About Me


Carnival Cinema is a production company set up to promote and reveal the world of the modern day 'carnival' - the performance community that they inhabit!
With over 30 years experience between them, circus/sideshow performers Hamish McCormick and Captain Frodo decided to combine their love of films and the circus.
They decided to 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 company was born when they where performing with The Happy Sideshow Australia's premier Freak show (of which Captain Frodo was a founding member) and decided to take 4 years worth of footage of shows and travels and turn it into a 'behind the scenes' of the show.
The Company is run by Hamish McCormick (filming, editing and producing). Collaborating with Captain Frodo when he has time in between performing around the world and bringing his unique sideshow clowning to the people.

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.
