Hello and welcome to our new site for Estrata Productions and the work of Shaun Garea. See below for information on past/present/future film, comic, writing, music, and academic projects.
At Estrata we have a focus on artistic content and a flair for doing things a little differently. We aim to challenge narrative structures and expectations whilst still keeping an eye on making work interesting and more than a little fun. Over the years this has attracted support from funding bodies, international music labels, Oscar and Palm d'Or winners, and Hugo and Eisner winners also.
We may not be big but we have heart. We punch above our weight class in traditional Kiwi fashion hence our works have played to audiences across the country and the world; in cinemas and on television, as featured exhibits in galleries, via VOD services, printed in annuals, and teamed with all of the PR that goes with that.
So welcome and stay awhile, have at look at the Kafka inspired set of Dream projects, The Legend of Gareus comic, read about some psychology research or just watch some music videos and look at the pretty pictures. - Shaun
