Let\u2019s face it. From a certain point of view, we\u2019re late by a full week in getting this entry posted to C-U Blogfidential<\/strong>. From another <\/em>point of view \u2013 that of your humble editor\u2019s \u2013 it\u2019s better late than never that we provide some visuals to accompany last week\u2019s discussion<\/a> of Premonition Pictures<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW<\/strong> in this fifth go-round of Images of the Week<\/strong>! We start with the video below which is not <\/em>the trailer we posted before<\/a> but proof positive that creators Derek Klein<\/strong> and Marc Morin, Jr.<\/strong>, are willing to gain fans by giving to<\/em> the fans, particularly the ones attracted to their previous ONE FINE DAY!<\/strong> series. As you can surmise by visiting their YouTube<\/strong><\/a> and Daily Motion<\/strong><\/a> accounts (and, to a lesser extent, the new \u201cExcerpts\u201d playlist on C-U Confidential Revue<\/strong><\/a>) POV <\/strong>has been made available in its entirety so if the mystery intrigues you \u2013 and, to be honest without giving anything away, we\u2019re not entirely convinced that only <\/em>one killer is at work here \u2013 a trip away from CUBlog <\/strong>may be in order to watch the remainder:<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Creative backtracking tells the interlocking POV <\/strong>stories of several individuals living in \u201cChambana County\u201d (which technically does not exist) who wind up dead and buried in Hartley Gardens (which does <\/em>exist as the Miles C. Hartley Selections Gardens<\/strong> in the University of Illinois<\/strong>\u2019 south campus arboretum, although \u201con the scene\u201d news footage seems to have been filmed elsewhere) by the hand of an apparent serial killer. Morin and Klein dramatize everything immediate that leads up to the crimes without depicting the deeds themselves, which affect no-budget porn film scribe Ben Falls (Prashanth Venkataramanujam<\/strong>), his bartender roommate Clark (Connor Chambers<\/strong>), mutual friend and possible love interest Wendy (Betsy Trevarthen<\/strong>), local Internet celebrity Lynda Bloom (Elisha Reichert<\/strong>), her vet professor fianc\u00e9 Tony (Lance Barke<\/strong>), and Web producer Heidi (Jessica DiLiberto<\/strong>). Fellow OFD!<\/strong> regulars Brittney Refakes<\/strong> and Leilani Marsh<\/strong> appear in supporting roles while newcomer Brittany Simons<\/strong> plays a reporter and Kyle Follansbee<\/strong> takes over as Drunk David from the series\u2019 Joseph M. Gardner<\/strong>. Unless, of course, there\u2019s room for more than one Drunk David in Chambana County … but we digress.<\/p>\n

On the final day of shooting during Spring Break 2009, CUBlog <\/strong>tagged along with Klein, Chambers, Trevarthen, and Venkataramanujam while they recorded Main Quad scenes which take place early in the story\u2019s chronology. Below, the director stages a sequence that will bring Ben and Wendy together for the first time thanks to the ill-timed swing of a book bag. As Connors waits patiently with the boom and microphone, Klein describes how Trevarthen will run up the sidewalk as Venkataramanujam acts distracted by an intense phone conversation\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026 and then resets the scene after the unfortunate hit, where Venkataramanujam will help Trevarthen back up to her feet \u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026 and finally segue to over-the-shoulder shots of the ensuing banter between the actors \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026 which would be followed by costume switches as well as a change of scenery as the foursome relocated to the northeast corner of the Main Quad to shoot more exposition as Clark and Wendy learn that Ben has sold his first porn script \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026 after which they decide to celebrate. Wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
