MASSACHUSETTS MEDIA MAVENS MEETING - January 12, 2009
It's time to get together again to network and celebrate, and to honor our selected peers who have achieved excellence in their work through dedication to our industry. It’s a Magical Evening long remembered.
IMAGINE is pleased to announce the following "Imaginnaires" so called because they are rich in creativity, thoughts and ideas. They are dedicated, insightful, and generous of themselves and their resources, which they use to serve our industry. They are:
Bestor Cram is a writer, shooter, teacher, director, producer and the leader of Northern Light Productions, which he founded in Boston, MA in 1982. The company is celebrating 27 years of immersion in the Documentary Arts. With a staff of 25, Northern Light produces work for museum exhibits and television broadcast. As an independent filmmaker, Bestor’s work is screened at festivals world wide. This past year saw the release of 5 Northern Light feature documentaries. Ernest Thompson will present.
Lyda Kuth is a founding board member and Executive Director of the LEF Foundation. Since 2001, LEF has provided support for independent video and filmmakers in New England through their Moving Image Fund, with over $1,800,000 in grants distributed. Under her guidance LEF reaches out to other industry related organizations and works closely with the New England Film community. Representative Brian Wallace will present.
John MacNeil formed Moody Street Pictures five years ago with a goal to build a collaborative of producers, camera operators, directors and editors. A long-time cameraman, both he and John Rule worked for Brian Heller at Boston Camera in 1982. He went on to found the Boston Film Factory now both companies are a part of Rule Broadcast. An industry leader and producer he has become an advocate for the industry.
Brian Heller will present.
Angela Peri started Boston Casting, Inc. about 17 years ago after her acting adventures in Italy, a casting job for CINEMA PARADISO, a stint as a stand-up comic, and working for a another top-casting agency in Boston, she wanted to start her own business. Deciding between a restaurant and a casting agency, she chose the later and directors and actors alike are happy with her decision. Christy Cashman will present.
Congratulations! We view each of them as making a significant difference to our industry in New England. We are so very fortunate to have them in our midst and they inspire us all!
