An Archive That Keeps Itself

A creative career leaks constantly. The reference you screenshotted is somewhere in your camera roll. The film you gaffed last spring credits you nowhere. The portfolio you promised to update is eight months stale.

CREA plugs the leaks with three tools that work while you don't.

Captures is the collection box. Drag in images, paste web links, save notes — it deduplicates, it's searchable, and over time it starts noticing your motifs: the palettes and moods you keep returning to. When a capture sparks a real idea, one click folds it into a seed, and the lineage is kept — the finished film will remember which screenshot started it.

Credits write your résumé. Work on a CREA production and the credit lands on your profile automatically — role, year, project — as verifiable history, not self-description. Wrapped projects append themselves to your record. Your profile ages like a filmography, not a billboard.

The portfolio exports itself. One click turns your profile into a typeset PDF — works, roles, years — with typography that handles Japanese and Chinese properly (rarer than it should be). The version you send is never the version you meant to update.

And everything public — works, collections, profiles — is part of the same web, so anything you archive can be found, followed and built upon by someone else.

Stop leaking

Start with the collection box, or just make something — the archive picks up the rest on its own.
