Comment on Upgrade to deter non-Art films? by Lisa

I grew up at the Majestic in Streator, and I hear it’s gone through a number of ups and downs over the years. It was closed for a while, and re-opened basically just to get slapped in the face over the digital conversion. What fun, eh?

What I really can’t understand is why distribution companies so selectively dish out the cash for upgrades. Presumably, the bigger chains could afford the conversion more easily than the indie theaters, right? So if you *had* to do for one group but not the other, why not do what you could to help the little theaters while the chains did for themselves? Water under the bridge, I suppose, but it still makes me wonder.

Still hoping for a big comeback for Harvest Moon!

Thanks, Wes, we appreciate your kind words and we were happy to host the premiere at the Art Theater. Hopefully, the NAFF and C-U Confidential can continue to facilitate memorable gatherings in the years to come!

I didn’t get the chance to thank you personally for the premiere of “Finding Virginia” at the New Art Film Festival. It gave the cast and the director a chance to reunite and witness the film together for its initial viewing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you,
Wes

I think she would enjoy that greatly! Columbia is home to the True/False Film Festival, which will be coming up in March: http://truefalse.org/

I will be moving to Columbia, MO within the next few months. Perhaps I can get together with Azazel and compare notes on film.

I am a co-writer and have a supporting role in the on-going web series UP THE CREEK for the Sleepy Creek Winery. I have a supporting role in Jennifer Bechtel’s film SCARY NORMAL that will film in June and if I can come up with a good enough script, I hope to direct a segment for Andrew Stengele and Thomas Nicol’s anthology movie.

We’re developing a sequel to “Once Upon a Time in 1972″ set in the magical disco-land of 1977! We’re also excited about helping with Jennifer Bechtel’s “Scary Normal” – filming in Summer 2012! (http://www.indiegogo.com/scarynormal)

I’ll be helping out with a few projects other people are organizing, including some exciting new productions from Kill Vampire Lincoln Productions and Sleepy Creek Films. As far as my own projects go, the bulk of production on Eye of Cthulhu is getting bumped into 2012, and I’m working with Andrew Stengele to organize a wacky-awesome collaborative anthology with some other local filmmakers.

Thanks for your support for local film festivals. In order to try to avoid conflicts with other events, the Route 66 International Film Festival will be moving to the last weekend of August in 2012 and to another theater: The Legacy Theater, 101 E. Lawrence in Springfield. Hope to see you all there. Keep up to date with the latest on our Facebook page.
