TONY FLANAGAN
Cinematographer

Tony is an American born in Japan and raised all over the United States. Moving frequently during his formative years caused Tony to spend way too much time with his camera. Shortly after college, Tony produced a 30 minute documentary on the man who invented the Schwa – the inverted e used in phonetic spellings. The documentary was entirely fictional and fraught with copyright infringements, but a creative team at an ad agency saw a bootleg copy and hired Tony to direct a television spot for the Boston Globe. The spot won a bunch of awards and Tony got hooked. It’s hard to say what exactly it is that Tony does for a living, but he’s been shooting and directing commercials, creating short films and features. He’s also working on two upcoming documentaries about the metric system and the origin of “Jingle Bells” and recently the Secret Service offered to play golf with Tony’s mother so he could shoot George Bush. With a camera.
