HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Created in 2008 by CJ Barnes whilst in living in Macau, Púka Entertainment Productions began its work putting together promotional videos for the various acts at the Venetian Macau and Sands Macau casinos.
In 2010 Púka Entertainment produced an episode of an animated show, titled Super Squad. The show followed a team of inept, government-sponsored superheroes trying to thwart an equally inept group of villains in Las Vegas. Animated entirely by CJ Barnes and featuring voice work from Topher O’Rourke, Sarah Jo Lorraine, and Josh Guerrero, future episodes were planned and written but were never produced.
After a lengthy production hiatus, Púka Entertainment Productions was established again on the Gold Coast, Australia to produce the short film, Hunger - A Short Film, which was completed in 2018 after a 6 day shoot and 3 months of post-production work. The film, which has only just started its journey through the festival world, has already received Official Selections to both Monster Fest 2018 and International Shorts Film Festival.
