From 2004-2005 Weird Chief Pictures had been primarily producing in television, but in 2006 WCP produced a short film, Waiting which premiered at the 2006 Slamdance Film Festival.

In the beginning of the year of 2005 WCP's founder, Josh, began selling his spraypaint art on eBay and by the end of 2006, WCP had officially started distributing the artworks of Josh and his wife Adrienne Taeoalii.

In 2007-2008 WCP co-produced, in association with SpyHop Productions, it's 3rd feature film, Darkroom.

Legend of the Pacific
Weird Chief Pictures is expecting to produce a film based on the Samoan legend of Malietoa, the mythical warrior.  Legend of the Pacific will touch upon many Polynesian legends, ceremonies and way of life, showcasing the unique traits of a people not yet defined by modern cinema. Much as Western films have done with the American Indian, we will explore the mystique and lore of ancient Polynesia. We will also employ the similar aspects of Asian Martial Arts films that illustrate their past filled with myth and magic, in essence creating a new genre of film.

A Man Afoot
Iosua Tai Taeoalii is currently writing a screenplay entitled, A Man Afoot.  A dramatic love story about a Vaquero (Spanish Cowboy) tormented with the hardships of 19th Century western frontier life and impassioned with a bond between himself and his horse.  A film that WCP intends to produce in the near future.  See the teaser below.
