Something is creeping in the back of the stage at Howard Storge Warehouses. Don't let your kids walk the alleys at night, watch out for the alluring glow of a stage show. Beware of what's around the corner. Those that make us laugh aren't so funny anymore....

We received this e-mail from the people at TVIAM a division of DirectTV.

Hello Episode 2 VJ's!

I have been bugging the broadcasters for information for weeks. Apparently in the fall, the programming schedules take a few weeks to settle. I'd love to give you more information, but this is what I know for now:

Episode 2 (the episode you are in) airs tomorrow (Sat) morning in most cities and on Sunday in some cities. It is definitely airing onSeattle based KMYQ. 
The same group is also carrying us in New York, Chicago, and Dallas.  The show is airing at 10:30 on Saturday mornings in these cities.

That's all I know and it kills me that I cant' tell you more!  However, if you miss the show, it will air again in 4 or 5 weeks and I will definitely get those rascally broadcasters to get me a final airtime list.

I also know that it is now available in 97,000,000 households! How cool is that? :-)

Last night was the 5th annual NOT A TAD BAD FLIM FESTIVAL and oh boy, was it a night to remember. Between the incredible musical mastery of the 5 performing bands including "Stalemate" "Hello Ninja" and others and the hours of fantastic films by a community of filmmakers who never back down from producing great, exciting new movies. As well as the premiere of Craig Shannon's "THE MAN WITH TWO FACES" this was, without a doubt, the best Flim Fest to date. Thanks to everyone who came, saw and conquered in a night of excellence. 

Thank you all and look forward to photos and videos of the event.

In most recent news: Here's a Website!

It's been a long time coming to update from good ol' Myspace to something a bit more professional. This site should be the home base for news, media and info on all things all the time everywhere. We'll start with the basics.

In our left most column you will see a series of links to pages involving (as of now) our contact info, films postings, event listings (those are mostly for showings or upcoming releases) and misc. which should house concept art, literary works etc. In the middle-most column...our news! and at the right-most column a film feed, continually updated with the most recent works from Imagavision Films and it's collaborators. Hopefully if enough people check out the page it will be worth my time to update the info.

As of right now Imagavision is looking forward to supporting two major events in the month of August:

At the Middleeast in Cambridge we will be documenting

'FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC'

A daylong dedication to arts and music inside and out of the Middleeast and Zulu in downtown Cambridge. Hosted in part by the OUT OF THE BLUE art gallery:

For the Love of Music 
Monday August 4, 2008 7pm - 1am 

472 – 480 Mass Ave. Central Square Cambridge
The Middle East

Now after all those things...Heres something directly related to us:

The Man With Two Faces is in it's final editing stages.

At Flim fest this year Imagavision will play part in screening a few short films it's produced within the last year including BSC best comedy "It's Life: The Musical."

Look forward to upcoming works with Big D and the Kids Table as well as other Ska/punk bands in New England.

And last but not least wish us the best of luck with our recently to be formally officially announcement of collaboration with TVIAM.
