About the film

This classic film noir pays homage to the gritty independent films of the past. Shot with a raw, yet intimate eye, Clown N Out evokes the spirit of early independent auteur filmmakers like Scorsese, as well as the street-level naturalism of 1970s and 1980s video store cult classics.

What people are saying

This is a slick little thriller/action/comedy flick from director Mark Hensley that edges its way into Tarantino Territory without ever fully diving into it, which is a good thing.

Chis Grega

Indie Film Sucks

Clown N Out has the trappings of a Tarantino or Coen Brothers’ style crime caper, but the film is not afraid to slow down and get under the fingernails of our characters.

Matthew Percefull

Film Obsessive

Clown N Out is a quality Mystery that has a whole bunch of intersecting parts to it that combine the past with the present.

Jeremy Gladston

IndyRed

Clown-N-Out in Valley Village is an example of the spirit of collaborative effort, it is what makes the impossible possible. The reward is in the outcome here, a real blast of a film with twists, turns, beloved landmarks and a satisfying ending.

If you’re into the whole “web of narratives” vibe of films like Pulp Fiction (1994) or Snatch (2000), you will certainly enjoy this low-budget, high-quality feature.

Cut To The Take

Cut to the Take

Clown N Out is a film noir that pays homage to the gritty independent films of the past and showcases the best of independent cinema.

Jason Knight

UK Film Review

Shot on a budget of only $4,000, director Mark Hensley makes this film look like a six-figure caper full of eccentricity that would make the likes of even Quentin Tarantino proud.

Clown N Out adheres to the heft of fiction in a manner that the crime genre tends to neglect in favour of more didactic pursuits (Casino, The Alto Knights, what have you). Incredibly refreshing stuff; kudos, Mark!
