Smeared in gaudy face-paint and dedicated as much to the hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse as they are to generalized debauchery and destruction, the Juggalo remains one of fan culture’s most enduring—and most derided—outsider figures. In his experimental short, Scott Cummings captures the Juggalos of Buffalo, New York in their natural habitat. Across a series of 30 tableaux, each one minute long and stripped of dialogue, these self-styled freaks lounge, wrestle, and sharpen their hatchets: equal parts beguiling and bizarro.
