Shane Eason is an award-winning filmmaker, curator, and educator. His formal experimental and documentary films are conscience studies in the discourse of abstraction, memory, and identity. Spanning 20+ years, his films have been exhibited and distributed worldwide, receiving numerous recognitions and awards. Apart from his newest and ongoing SIN BIN film series, other recently completed film works, PAPA, ASCEND + DESCEND, Mangroves, He Sees Dead People, and others, have had screenings at FRACTO Experimental Film Encounter (Berlin, Germany), Madrid International Film Festival (Madrid, Spain), Jerome Indie Film & Music Festival (Jerome, AZ), Key West Film Festival (Key West, FL), Twisted Oyster Film & New Media Art Festival (Chicago, IL & Kefalonia, Greece), RPM Film Festival (Boston, MA), Screen 2019-CLIMATES (Amherst, MA), Fågelbo Film Festival (Fort Lauderdale, FL), along with many others. Additionally, he directs and curates the 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soirée (est. 2006) and the Flamingo Film Festival (est. 2012). He is also working on ROCKETS’ RED GLARE, an experimental-documentary feature film based on Jean Baudrillard’s America, a travel diary written in 1986, whereas “America” is perceived as an abstract country, elaborately draped around a scattering of wealth, vastness, and speed at which people move, live, and die. Chaotic and obtrusive manmade structures will contrast with the mystical and natural landscapes of the American Southwest reflecting upon current American values, popular culture, and politics, all provocative accounts of an obsessional society. Shane Eason is also an Associate Professor of Experimental and Documentary Film, the Associate Director, and the Multimedia Production Coordinator for the School of Communication and Multimedia Studies at Florida Atlantic University. He received a BFA in Film Production with a minor in Film Studies from the University of Regina and an MFA in Studio Arts-Film Production from Concordia University.
