Studio Stu was engaged by Future Associate to work with Director Noora Niasari and DoP Sherwin Akbarzadeh to be the On-Set VFX Supervisor for the film’s house fire sequence. Shayda’s approach is one of poetic realism so it was important that our work was committed to the same approach.
Shayda had its premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Audience Award in the World Cinematic Dramatic Competition. It is Australia’s submission for the Best International Feature at the 2024 Academy Awards.
