Octopunx is the streaming and community home of Octopunk Media - creators of the horror feature Livescreamers, the tabletop RPG show Breakout Rolls, and the Reed900 fan film Detroit Evolution.
We have been making queer and subversive films since 2016, streaming on Twitch since 2019, ran a successful Patreon from 2019-2025, and now have launched Octopunx TV as a platform of our own.
-
Any tenure you built up in your previous Patreon membership is automatically credited to your account, and you will continue to get iron-on patches on your yearly anniversary dates.
-
Our scripts and galleries are now hosted in the community section of Octopunx!
As for our old group calls and livestreams, they are selectively being taken from Youtube, edited and remastered if needed, and crossposted to Octopunx for premium members. Some old streams may be taken down if they had significant technical issues or simply weren't engaging. Once this migration is complete, Patreon will be closed. For now, Patreon's billing system is frozen and no one is being charged.
-
We offer a free tier with ad-free access to our backlist of content, pilot episodes of new shows, and all community features.
Our Basic Membership of $4.99/month or $49.99/year includes access to the entire website, ad free, including new shows like Ships and Giggles and Breakout Rolls.

Coming to Octopunx in 2025:
- SHIPS AND GIGGLES: A fandom-inspired improv game show inspired by "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"
- BREAKOUT ROLLS: Actors take on one-shot indie tabletop RPGs in this rotating actual play series
- EIGHT OF TENTACLES: Michelle reads the tarot of the Octofam in this cathartic get-to-know-you show
- CLAWS OUT: Deep interviews with fascinating people, but with a twist - they're also painting their nails
- FIRST DRAFTS: Michelle's childhood scripts are hilariously and earnestly brought to life by actors
- OCTOPUNX SPOTLIGHT: Every quarter we will host a digital exhibition of a remarkable independent filmmaker's work, featuring a backlist of their movies along with a live Q&A where you can meet them and ask questions about their career.
- THE OCTOPUNK FILM CATALOGUE: All Octopunk films new and old, including Livescreamers, the new remaster of Livescream, Lazzo, and the Redux Trilogy
-
We guarantee new episodes, live series, podcasts, or films every single month. Usually a season of one of our shows will release new episodes for 1-2 months straight, and then we will switch to a different new show or film launch the following month.
Our filmmaker showcases rotate with new films every quarter!
-
We do not currently offer a $4.99/month tier that includes Octopunx content, although this may be an option we explore in the future. There may be some folks who just want to access our content withot all the other benefits of Octopunx, coupled with some of the ease-of-access of YouTube.
Currently you can get an Octopunk Media YouTube Membership for $2.99/month, which essentially just includes chat emotes for any Octopunk Media live broadcasts, similar to the benefits of our Twitch subscriptions.

Please don't send any unsolicited material. We delete pitches and materials unread.
We are also not a distributor and do not currently take aquisitions of films or series.
If you would like to be considered as an actor in a future project, please follow Octopunk Media on social media for open calls. We don't keep reels and resumes on file when we are not actively casting.

Note that we only accept mail for Octopunx, Octopunk Media, Michelle, and Austin. We do not accept gifts or mail on behalf of any actors or crew, so if you want to send something to one of our collaborators, it is best to reach out to them directly.
-
We don't believe in unpaid interships, and unfortunately don't have the capital to hire additional help beyond that. We also don't have a studio space or brick and mortar location, so it's mostly just Michelle in her loft doing all the work.
We may open some kind of accelerator program for young artists at some point, though, and we occasionally commission artists. Keep an eye out for open calls!
