Black Camel Pictures is a production company based in Glasgow. Founded by Arabella Croft and Kieran Parker. They mortgaged their £200,000 home in Glasgow to finance production for their first movie Outpost. The film received a mixed reception for being a good film on a low budget and helped establish the company for future projects. Critics quoted "Barker delivers smart shocks and stylistic flourishes but his habit of breaking his own rules lets the film down...Still, who needs logic when you’ve got Nazi zombies...".
