Almaden Films

                     Independent Filmmakers

Shawn Flanagan directs Kai Oliver and James Maher on the set of "The Unwilling".

Shawn Flanagan of Almaden Films is something of a pugilist, in a movie producing kind of way. He has shown the promise of an artist with wry humor, deep emotions and the ability to jab and move when up against powerful forces. He has a particularly creative sense of survival in the world of film where the word “budget” is but a blasphemous term meaning money crematory.
