FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week, we have three things to Report<\/strong> that blipped on our radar thanks to the socials. First is a heads-up from Smile Politely<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> that the University of Illinois Program in Jewish Culture & Society<\/strong> has invited the filmmaker Michael Mayer<\/strong> to campus as a visiting scholar who will teach classes and workshops over the next few weeks. There is a meet-and-greet for Mayer, whose recent feature HAPPY TIMES<\/strong> was released in the United States<\/strong> last year<\/span><\/a> by Artsploitation Films<\/strong>, set for this coming Tuesday, September 6, 7:30 p.m.<\/strong>, at the Analog Wine Library<\/strong> in downtown Urbana<\/strong>, and RSVP with the Champaign-Urbana Jewish Federation<\/strong> is required<\/a><\/span> for the free event. A few blocks over, the Urbana Free Library<\/strong> is offering a free webinar through Illinois Libraries Present<\/strong> with the veteran actress and deaf rights advocate Marlee Matlin<\/strong> (CODA, THE WEST WING<\/strong>) on Wednesday, September 14<\/strong>, at 7 p.m.<\/strong> You can register for the talk through this link<\/a><\/span>, which is keyed into Deaf Awareness Month<\/strong> and will be broadcast using Zoom<\/strong>. And then, somewhere in Champaign-Urbana, the cauldron is cooking up the next gruesome movies of Jeff Kacmarynski<\/strong> (ESSENCE<\/strong>), who is resuscitating projects that were announced prior to the pandemic putting the clamps to our creatives. They include a grindhouse-style short that is called WITCH ON A WALKER<\/strong> and a feature-length horror drama called WITH CHILD<\/strong>; he is actively casting and crewing both, announcing recently through Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/span> that Lauren Ellen Wilson<\/strong> (PROJECT SKYQUAKE<\/strong>) and Lynn Lowry<\/strong> (THE CRAZIES, ESSENCE<\/strong>) have accepted lead roles in CHILD<\/strong>. Queries and audition materials can be sent to Kacmarynski by writing subbasementfilms [at] gmail [dot] com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
