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

15 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Friday, May 2, 2003:<\/em> TRIAD<\/strong>, the first University of Illinois<\/strong> student film of scope to emerge in the Illini Film & Video<\/strong> era, receives its premiere this evening at the Armory Building<\/strong>\u2019s lecture space, Armory 101<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Conceived by LAS<\/strong> candidate and musician Chris Folkens<\/strong> from a screenplay by Katharine Broihan<\/strong>, Ray Perry<\/strong>, and himself, the narrative featurette concerns a trio of undergraduate friends played by Evan Dollard<\/strong>, Hayley Maree Jannesen<\/strong>, and Adam Pasen<\/strong> who unwittingly learn more than they desire about a ghostly curse involving three academic buildings at their school. Slickly imagined in the style of visual Hollywood<\/strong> filmmakers like Michael Mann<\/strong> and Michael Bay<\/strong> on a shoestring budget, TRIAD<\/strong> is also scheduled for a reprise tomorrow, Saturday, May 3<\/strong>, during the end-of-semester IFV festival. Folkens is even planning to release prepackaged DVD editions and stock them on the shelves of Campustown<\/strong> merchants like T.I.S. College Bookstore<\/strong> and That\u2019s Rentertainment<\/strong>. Before graduation and a move to Chicago<\/strong> to join the famed Leo Burnett<\/strong> advertising agency, the director-producer would follow TRIAD<\/strong> with the more assured bioweapon thriller TOXIN<\/strong>, also created in Champaign-Urbana<\/strong>. Both he and Dollard made subsequent inroads into the entertainment industry, the former as a promotional video producer for the ABC-TV<\/strong> network in Los Angeles<\/strong> and the latter as a winning contestant on the AMERICAN GLADIATORS<\/strong> revival and frequent competitor on AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

25 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Thursday, May 6, 1993:<\/em> The production crew behind WITH HONORS<\/strong>, an upcoming collegiate drama starring Brendan Fraser<\/span><\/a>, Moira Kelly, Josh Hamilton<\/strong>, and Patrick Dempsey<\/strong>, utilizes the University of Illinois Main Quad<\/strong> to capture a climactic moment<\/span><\/a>. It is one of several location shoots across the United States<\/strong> that will meld together on-screen to depict the settings for the story, Harvard University<\/strong> and Cambridge, Massachusetts<\/strong>. Numerous locals fill the need for extras, sitting about the young actors in the guises of fellow students, faculty, and family members, for a graduation ceremony scene staged at the south end of the Quad with a dressed Foellinger Auditorium<\/strong> as an architectural backdrop. Present for the faux<\/em> festivities is the celebrated writer Gore Vidal<\/strong>, who plays a Harvard professor and faculty advisor to Fraser\u2019s character Monty Kessler, while the popular comedic actor Joe Pesci<\/strong>, appearing as a wiseacre street person with a dreamer\u2019s soul who becomes an unofficial mentor to Monty, is nowhere to be found. Activity is scheduled to wrap by this evening although, according to News-Gazette<\/span><\/strong> coverage at the time, several members of the WITH HONORS<\/strong> team will have spent most of the week in the immediate area before their visit is through. Warner Bros.<\/strong> would open the Spring Creek Productions<\/strong> film a year later almost to the day on Friday, April 29, 1994<\/strong>, at slightly more than 1,000 theaters nationwide. Quad footage can be seen briefly in the accompanying music video for the movie\u2019s hit theme song, \u201cI\u2019ll Remember<\/strong>,\u201d performed by Madonna<\/strong>; WITH HONORS<\/strong> director Alex Keshishian<\/strong> previously worked on the pop star\u2019s concert tour documentary, MADONNA: TRUTH OR DARE<\/strong>, as well as several of her other videos.<\/p>\n
