“Signed, Theo Schoon” is a feature film directed by Luit Bieringa.
Tracing the story of one of our more complex characters, this layered portrait re-examines the exploits of influential outsider, Dutch immigrant artist Theo Schoon, told in his own words and through first-hand accounts.
Gareth Farr composed the soundtrack, noting that he and Schoon have much in common in their love of Indonesian gamelan. Blending the Dutch, Indonesian, Māori and Pakeha influences for the sound track required a special skill.
“When you look at Schoon and my large list of shared interests, it seems insane that anyone else would do it.”
