We hope you plan to spend a nominal portion of your attentions in 2017 with us here at <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>C-U Blogfidential<\/strong><\/span> and our shared neighbors who continue to do their part to push indigenous film culture into the limelight. Both are represented handily in the embedded episode of <strong>ALMOST INTIMATE<\/strong>, an interview series produced and hosted by <strong>DeShawn Hill<\/strong> of <strong>HD Productions Media<\/strong> in Champaign, so we\u2019re going to keep today\u2019s holiday posting short and encourage you to segue into a viewing as soon as you can! <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" title=\"IOW: Plenty of pre-HOLLY activity :: C-U Blogfidential\" href=\"https:\/\/www.micro-film-magazine.com\/cublog\/?p=8819\" target=\"_blank\">Although we\u2019ve talked before<\/a><\/span> about <strong>INTIMATE<\/strong>, the run of which <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" title=\"HD Productions Media @ YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/HDProductions58\" target=\"_blank\">you can sample at the HD <strong>YouTube<\/strong> channel<\/a><\/span>, we\u2019re singling out the most recent entry uploaded on <strong>Friday, December 23<\/strong>, since it features a candid one-on-one between Hill and humble <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>CUBlog<\/strong><\/span> editor <strong>Jason Pankoke<\/strong>. We discuss the topics you might expect to be addressed, including <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>C-U Confidential<\/strong><\/span> and the <strong>New Art Film Festival<\/strong>, but also go into <strong>Ye Ed<\/strong>\u2019s personal background, experiences, and philosophy leading up to his current slate of activity du C-U, his reflections on the <strong>MICRO-FILM<\/strong> era, what he likes to watch as of late, which current releases he believes should be recognized in the unfolding awards season, and more! This is a side rarely broached by reporters and fellow media makers who wish to share our story, so we appreciate the invitation from Hill to have this conversation and believe it illuminates the \u201cwhy\u201d of what we have doggedly attempted for more than a decade. We also think it could be the last or almost-last <strong>ALMOST<\/strong> produced in town by the ambitious and steadfast Hill, who plans a move to <strong>Los Angeles<\/strong> this month to take a sophomore stab at entering the entertainment industry as a <strong>California<\/strong> resident. He has a narrative short in the works titled <strong>DAUGHTERS<\/strong>, a self-described \u201cheart-stopping thriller\u201d shot within the past few weeks on C-U soil and featuring <strong>William Rose II, Kris Wilcox, Victoria Odom<\/strong>, and <strong>Shauna Miller<\/strong>, as well as recent producer\/director\/editor credits on <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" title=\"MY CHILD @ YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mT6EvgdQLyY&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\">the dramatic short <strong>MY CHILD<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, starring <strong>Nicole Busch<\/strong> and<strong> Tracy Payne<\/strong> (who also co-produced and wrote the original screenplay) in a cautionary tale of drug abuse, murder, and an infant born addicted. <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" title=\"DeShawn Hill :: Film Inquiry\" href=\"http:\/\/www.filminquiry.com\/author\/deshawn-hill\/\" target=\"_blank\">In addition, Hill contributes essays on movies<\/a><\/span> to the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Film Inquiry<\/strong><\/span> on-line magazine.
