Our movie and media Calendar appears every Friday\/Saturday on <\/em>C-U Blogfidential<\/span><\/strong> and caters to the downstate region anchored by Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, USA.<\/em><\/p>\n ~~~~~<\/p>\n MILESTONES | Happy Birthday to You!<\/strong><\/p>\n 8\/12: Ann Myrna (producer, ATTACK OF THE CORN ZOMBIES, Acrostar Films, Chicago, IL)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said<\/strong><\/p>\n Ye Ed<\/strong> is back in MFHQ Deux<\/strong> this week, but Mr. JaPan<\/strong> just isn\u2019t feeling the writing need. Hope our dearest readers are supporting the local films by attending FINAL SUMMER<\/strong> at the Virginia Theatre<\/strong> on Thursday and YOU\u2019RE OUT!<\/strong> at the Savoy 16 + IMAX<\/strong> on Saturday. There\u2019s also DESPERATE SOULS<\/strong> from Chicago<\/strong>\u2019s Acrostar Films<\/strong> showing at the Princess Theater<\/strong> in LeRoy<\/strong> next Saturday, August 19<\/strong>, in the immediate region where they filmed, and the Midwest premiere of the documentary FIELDS OF GOLD<\/strong> on Decatur<\/strong> legend A. E. Staley<\/strong> and the former A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company<\/strong> at the revived Lincoln Square Theatre<\/strong> on September 16<\/strong>. All these projects and many more that we\u2019ve been mentioning in the last few years need to find broad audiences who are outside the bounds of downstate Illinois<\/strong> to hit their maximum potential, but it\u2019s always positive to show the makers we have their best interests at heart with strong community outpouring. Dig in and do your cultural diligence, folks. That is all, and everything.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n LOCAL FILMS & EVENTS | Support Your Media Storytellers<\/strong><\/p>\n @ Phoenix Savoy 16 + IMAX, Savoy, IL<\/strong> \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n NOW PLAYING | Champaign-Urbana Area<\/strong><\/p>\n @ AMC Champaign 13, Champaign, IL<\/strong> @ Phoenix Savoy 16 + IMAX, Savoy, IL<\/strong>
