CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 July 1997:<\/em> Location filming commences and wraps in Champaign County<\/strong> on the feature-length drama COYOTE\u2019S HONOR<\/strong>, a project spearheaded by Urbana<\/strong> native Michael Wiese<\/strong> to experiment in micro-budget movie production. As an author and publisher at an imprint dedicated to instructing readers on various aspects of the filmmaking process<\/a><\/span>, Wiese is using the opportunity to develop a screen story (with recent University of Illinois<\/strong> graduate Doug McCord<\/strong>) based on available resources and talent in the Champaign-Urbana area while also testing prosumer MiniDV<\/strong> video gear and post-production software that is relatively new to the marketplace. English literature major Eric Wippo<\/strong> plays the \u201ccoyote\u201d of the title, a wily drifter who does his best to disrupt a nucleus of friends and frenemies in a Midwest college town; mostly drawn from the current pool of Krannert Center for the Performing Arts<\/strong> summer stock players, the cast also includes John Maclay, Mike Kuehl, Will Ransom, Kelly Cooper, Heather Saliny, Emily A. Parks, Heather Lamb, Dustin Wilkinson<\/strong>, and UI acting instructor Richard Barrows<\/strong>. WILL-TV<\/strong> producer Tim Hartin<\/strong> and Southern Illinois University<\/strong> cinema student Chris Dowell<\/strong> form part of the tiny crew. Although Wiese will soon chronicle the lessons learned with COYOTE<\/strong> in an article series for Videography<\/span><\/strong> magazine and as an appendix in the second edition of The Independent Film and Videomaker\u2019s Guide<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> (Michael Wiese Productions, Studio City, CA<\/strong>, 1998), COYOTE<\/strong> itself has remained lost in the cornfields and all but absent from the Internet wilds despite initial plans to set it free on the festival circuit.<\/p>\n
