Imagavision films
Raised on the Massachusetts South Shore, Craig Shannon began working on movies in high school under the production banner "Backyard Boondocks Productions" which later splintered into "Pernicious Paradise Productions" and Craig's own "Imagavision Films."
Working under Imagavision's name Craig has traveled across most of North America from Boston to California. His career at Fitchburg State College has allied him with some of the most original and unique filmmakers working in Massachusetts. Craig's work has won regional recognition with It's Life: The Musical (produced by Andrew Finley) as well as recogniton by the LaCoy group for See Yourself in the Movies, a short documentary focusing on the life of one woman in 1941 Fitchburg Massachusetts. His short film We Gatta Eat! has played at various venues including the Boston Underground Film Festival.
Craig has done advocacy work for the MassArc association in an effort to raise support for mentally/physically disabled citizens of Massachusetts. Such work led him to journalism pieces on the Music and Art community in and around Boston for VJIAM TV, BBN3: Boston, and specific work on the global climate isssue for Green Generation TV. His directorial work has delved into the psyche of the hired gun (The Man with Two Faces), the companionship of four criminal friends (One Silent Night) and the unsettling attitude of three clowns (We Gatta Eat!) as well as the documentation of the ska/reggae music of New England. He has also penned two feature length scripts and is always gearing up for his next production.
