Skuu Digital is a new filmmaking undertaking turning dreams into reality. It started off as a creative design agency creating logos, murals and artwork with the odd vlog here and there but at it’s heart, it was a mobile filmmaking initiative that had potential to be even more. Now it is! Starting with my first project Handle. Skuu comes from a Kuki Airani chant from my high school during Polyfest in the 90’s. It was a saying that the leader of that year would use to empower the group to be as one unit. To be grounded and make it happen. Those qualities and truths have been instilled into Skuu Digital - a means to express how I tell stories on an epic level and future collaborations will make that possible. From fantasy to Cook Island stories, Skuu will be the vaka to sail on the creative seas that is filmmaking and visual storytelling.

Arts in the MediaJoshua Prendeville: Building an Audience on Boosted
Accomplished Filmmaker Joshua Prendeville first came to Boosted in order to help with funding his 2024 Film 'The House Within,' documenting the life and work of 2026 Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellow Dame Fiona Kidman. Since then he has gone on to direct an adaptation of Katherine Mansfield's 'The Garden Party,' that was also funded in part through Boosted. His latest project is 'Earthly Shadows,' a short film adaptation of the award-winning story by Fiona Kidman. For Joshua, Boosted has become a more than just a funding avenue, it's a way to bring his audience onboard at the start of a film's journey and bring that crowd along with him. Joshua was kind enough to share with us his experiences and lessons learned from growing his audience on Boosted, and how he aims to bring them on a journey with his latest project, 'Earthly Shadows.'18 May 2026 -

Pitching to media
Remember, not everyone you ask to give will give, so even a modest crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise a few thousand dollars requires getting in front of thousands of people.Unless you’re famous in your own right or have strong social influence, it’s unlikely you’ve got immediate access to a network of this size. Here’s where PR comes to the party.31 Aug 2024
