First, we plan on letting go of our long-time post office box 45; please jot down and use the following as the primary mailing address to reach our lil\u2019 ol\u2019 pseudo-empire: <strong>Jason Pankoke, Editor, MICRO-FILM, 401 N. Prairie, Suite 3D, Champaign, IL, 61820<\/strong>. Second, we will merge the <strong>MICRO-FILM<\/strong> and <strong>C-U Confidential<\/strong> Mailing Lists within the next year; <strong>MF <\/strong>fans should make a mental note that the singular e-newsletter will most likely be <strong>C-U<\/strong> branded but certainly incorporate <strong>MF <\/strong>news when pertinent. Until then? Carry on, MacDuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 3em; text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>EXHIBITION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Possibly the most <strong>Halloween <\/strong>ready local-ish movie of current vintage (that doesn\u2019t involve lycanthropy, of course) is the 72-minute isolation thriller, <strong>FARM<\/strong>, which made its debut in <strong>Chicago <\/strong>last month and will play again tomorrow, <strong>Friday, October 29, Midnight<\/strong>, at the <strong>Hi-Pointe Theatre<\/strong> in <strong>St. Louis<\/strong>. Fortunes will hopefully turn soon and allow for <strong>FARM <\/strong>to freak the C-U but until then, the curious can check out a previous short called <strong>DISPOSABLE <\/strong>by the film\u2019s editor and <strong>University of Illinois<\/strong> alumnus\/employee, <strong>Andrew Gleason<\/strong>, during this weekend\u2019s <strong>Freeky Creek Short Film Festival<\/strong> in <strong>Oakwood<\/strong>. [It has no relation to the feature-length <strong>DISPOSABLE <\/strong>produced in <strong>Champaign County<\/strong> by <strong>Dreamscape Cinema<\/strong> except that both involve <em>muuuuhr<\/em>-der. \u2013 ed.] <strong>C-U Blogfidential<\/strong> received some information and set photos from Gleason about <strong>FARM<\/strong>, of which we\u2019ll share a bit of the former right now and a touch of the latter tomorrow as our <strong>Images of the Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>FARM <\/strong>co-directors and producers <strong>Andrew M. Jackson<\/strong> and <strong>Hank Bausch<\/strong> took off for southern <strong>California <\/strong>not long after graduating from film school at <strong>Southern Illinois University-Carbondale<\/strong> in 2008, hoping to wedge that proverbial foot in the <strong>Hollywood <\/strong>front door. A handful of gigs and two months later, real life dictated that the duo escape from <strong>L.A.<\/strong> to regroup in the Midwest and formulate a better plan. Their ultimate solution involved <a title=\"FARM :: Official Site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.farmthemovie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">producing an independent feature on their own<\/a> to prove their mettle out West. After eight months\u2019 worth of pre-production and two near-disastrous hurdles involving the loss of both their original farm location and rental equipment package, the <strong>FARM <\/strong>hands finally shot for three weeks in May 2009 in little <strong>Ava, Illinois<\/strong>, not far from <strong>Carbondale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Written by St. Louis resident and fellow SIU-C graduate <strong>Paul Farrell<\/strong>, the <strong>FARM <\/strong>screenplay emphasizes drama over genre conventions and sticks with brothers Charlie (<strong>Michael Hotop<\/strong>) and Simon (<strong>Freddie Meyer<\/strong>), who have apparently holed themselves up in their remote tract of farm land for fear that something \u2013 implied through subtle details as being a plague  \u2013 will inevitably force them to flee. At the dinner table one night, Charlie senses an unwelcome presence and finds ragged loner Sarah (<strong>Ashley Salazar<\/strong>) hiding in the house. Searching for her younger sister, Sarah remains with the brothers in hopes of survival as it becomes clear other individuals less than human are descending upon the farm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cZombie movies are a dime a dozen, but we have a story that we found to be truly unique,\u201d Gleason tells <strong>CUBlog<\/strong>. \u201cWhat we believe separates <strong>FARM <\/strong>from most modern zombie films is that <strong>FARM <\/strong>is a true character driven drama where the foil for these characters is the Armageddon\/zombies that they have to deal with \u2026 we hope that a horror movie in which the characters have actual depth and aren\u2019t paper-thin cannon fodder will captivate the audience in a way that modern horror [otherwise] fails to.\u201d That said, the fictional fantastic elements in <strong>FARM <\/strong>almost pale in comparison to the horrors that met the production head-on once camera began rolling: recast actors, nosy neighbors, irate property owners, broken water pipes, and lack of power for two full days due to a rare inland hurricane. These factors helped whittle down the tight 21-day schedule to a mere 12 days, upping the crew\u2019s discomfort exponentially.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yet, filming wrapped on time and was followed by a year of editing and ADR work for which Gleason\u2019s involvement became instrumental \u2013 even more so (literally) for his wife <strong>Nadine<\/strong>, who provided the music score. The fruits of <strong>FARM <\/strong>labors could pay off for the Gleasons, Bausch, Jackson, Farrell, and everyone else involved now that the film has begun to play the circuit, including a surprise last-minute addition to the eighth <strong>Fargo <\/strong>(ND) <strong>Fantastic Film Festival<\/strong> two weeks ago. They have several follow-up projects in mind, including two additional features continuing the story from where <strong>FARM <\/strong>leaves off. We\u2019ll let you know if and when a screening materializes here in the C-U!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Speaking of, please consider visiting <a title=\"Mike 'n' Molly's :: Home Page\" href=\"http:\/\/mikenmollys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Mike \u2018n Molly\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> in downtown <strong>Champaign <\/strong>this All Hallow\u2019s Eve for an encore of the <strong>Jason Butler<\/strong> towniepocalypse, <strong>WEREWOLF CEMETERY Part 4<\/strong>, which will start at \u201c<strong>10ish<\/strong>\u201d according to JB.
