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.
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 25 years of total immersion in the Documentary Arts and many mighty accomplishments including going from one film in the incubator to producing 8 major works per year.
Lyda Kuth is the Executive Director of the LEF Foundation. In 2008 LEF awarded $300,000 to 26 Grant and Fellowship recipients and since 2001 LEF has been providing support for independent video and filmmakers in New England 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.
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.
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.
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!
