Good ev<\/em>-e-ning, crazy goblins and creepy ghouls! As tonight will be the surrogate party time for many of you since Halloween<\/strong> falls mid-week, we hope you have great fun in your wild get-ups but also<\/em> make safe transportation and reasonable consumption a high priority. Speaking of taking in nourishment, duty has called repetitively here at the not-very-scary Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters<\/strong> as we continue our posting deluge for the fall. Make sure to check out our recent and upcoming writing once that Pumpkin Haze wears off and, if you simply must<\/em> pack it all in tonight, here\u2019s a quick one to tide you over\u2026<\/p>\n

We realized this pretty little number has never made C-U Blogfidential<\/strong> even though we played it at the most recent New Art Film Festival<\/strong> and added it to our YouTube<\/strong> channel<\/a>. Therefore, we must spread the love! MIDNIGHT LOVE<\/strong> is a \u201cCinderella story\u201d filmed in Champaign-Urbana<\/strong> two years ago by Timothy Ro<\/strong> for the San Francisco<\/strong> electronic musician Mokhov<\/strong>, featuring actors Allegra Wentworth<\/strong> and Daniel Kamberelis<\/strong> in a star-crossed chance encounter set against a more cosmopolitan C-U than we usually see in real life. Deep-focus DSLR cinematography by Nathan Adhikari<\/strong> and disciplined editing by Sean O\u2019Leary<\/strong> add to the feel of a classic romance set in a contemporary young people\u2019s milieu.<\/p>\n

Another of the many distinct touches in MIDNIGHT LOVE<\/strong> is the costume design contributed by Urbana retro fashionista Polly Bland,<\/strong> who has received a sudden burst of local press during the past few weeks from the News-Gazette<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and a new \u201cstudent life\u201d magazine called Impulse<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. When not contributing her talents to local film shoots, which have also included A. Lawrence Dreyfuss<\/strong>\u2019 HAD HE FIDELITY<\/strong> and Chris<\/strong> and Anne Lukeman<\/strong>\u2019s upcoming ONCE UPON A TIME IN 1977<\/strong>, she writes the \u2018blog The Littlest Polly<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and operates the on-line vintage store Paulie Antiques<\/strong><\/a>. Neat story for the ultimate dress-up weekend, yes?<\/p>\n

The original track \u201cMidnight Love<\/strong>\u201d appears on Mokhov\u2019s album Halcyon Days<\/span><\/strong>, released last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n
