ABOUTan scéal
POOKA is a shapeshifting production company making films, commercials
and content through old magic and new mischief. We bring together directors, passed-on
craft secrets and mischievous emerging technology — changing shape around every idea
rather than forcing the idea to fit the tools.

Joana CAIANO
Joana makes films that walk between fiction and truth — amharc
with a pulse. Lisbon-born, London-sighted, she took a camera into a psychiatric
hospital for her first feature and came back with The Mind is Not a Safe Place.
Hand her a story and she'll quietly athchruth it: same bones, new shape,
more truth than you remember agreeing to.
KNOWN TRICKS — documentary nerve · fiction with teeth · music videos · an t-athchruth
NATURAL HABITAT — Lisbon / London. ansó is ansúd.
LAST SIGHTING — Iceland, allegedly. scouting Icebreakers.

probably wasn't supposed to go.

NATURAL HABITAT — usually behind a monitor. Occasionally in the wild.

Cardboard and expensive pieces of glass. The playful, handmade end of
what we do — where the mischievous new tools get let off the lead.
