Welcome to the official site for Toronto-based filmmaker Craig Macnaughton and his new production company Filmquake.
I make award winning shorts for festivals, internet, mobile and broadcast audiences, and am developing several feature film projects :::

Recent Projects :::

Post-Production :::

"LUGGAGE"
(writer, director, co-producer, editor)
A short film I conceived after attending a workshop with Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Deepa Mehta. It's about loneliness in travel, and continuing someone's work after they die. With a bit of "Lost" and "Battlestar Gallactica" thrown in for good measure. Almost done post-production :::

In Development :::

"WHO NEEDS TICKETS?"
(co-writer, director)
Joel has big plans. Too bad they have nothing to do with ticket scalping. A comedic feature film developed with stand-up comedian extraordinaire Alex Nussbaum. More info coming soon :::
