<br>Greetings, friends!<br><br>Have you read all the local movie news fit to post? Unfortunately, we only posted one time this week, but it's pretty epic:<br><br><a href="http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2170">http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2170</a><br>
<br>In this edition of C-U Blogfidential’s all-purpose column, “C-U Biz-en-scène,” we tell you about LEADING LADIES, REVOLTING, FARM, RAGSTONE AVENUE, CONTAGION, THE LORD IS NOT ON TRIAL HERE TODAY, and what movies are now playing/renting near you! Hot damn!<br>
<br>We'd also like to solicit your feedback on the CUBiz column. Do you like them? Are they informative and interesting? If you aren't reading CUBiz, then maybe now is the time to take a look and see what you're missing! For instance, we'll tease with a segment of an embedded mini-interview in this week's column with our friend Jen Bechtel, who co-wrote LEADING LADIES:<br>
<br>"Semi-alternating time slots with REVOLTING [at the Art Theater in Champaign this Saturday and Sunday] is another anticipated feature, the elaborate 'showbiz family' dance dramedy LEADING LADIES, a My Pet Piranha, LLC production that will finally be seen in C-U after playing the film festival circuit for several months and winning fans across America during that time. 'So many people in this community helped to make the film possible and I think that the investment of time, energy, resources, et cetera, helped to build a real buzz for the film in C-U,' says screenplay co-writer Jennifer Bechtel, who chatted with CUBlog via e-mail right before the festivities. 'In many ways, it feels like [we’re] finally getting to show it to anxious family members.' Urbana resident Bechtel has worked with LADIES co-director Erika Randall Beahm for several years to bring alive the rambunctious story of the Campari family, made up of brassy stage mother Shari (played by Melanie LaPatin), gifted older daughter Tasi (UI graduate Shannon Lea Smith), and wallflower younger daughter Toni (Laurel Vail) who comes to the fore once Tasi becomes pregnant and Shari must save face for herself by entering somebody in an upcoming regional ballroom dancing competition."<br>
<br>What else did she have to tell CUBlog about LEADING LADIES? Why, you'll have to go directly to the source, of course! We'll help you out one more time with that:<br><br><a href="http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2170">http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2170</a><br>
<br>Please take our humble request seriously to let us know how we're doing. Also, "Images of the Week" will return next week along with the next CUBiz and, possibly, a surprise or two. Enjoy, and make sure to get over to the Art this weekend to see LEADING LADIES and REVOLTING on the big screen!<br>
<br>Keep on filming,<br><br>~ Jason P., Editor<br><br>~~~~~<br><br>"This is not just movies, it's our lives."<br><a href="http://www.facebook.com/cuconfidential">http://www.facebook.com/cuconfidential</a><br>
