A grand Friday to you, community stewards of cinema craziness here in Champaign-Urbana<\/strong>! We\u2019d like to update you on a trio of projects receiving the vaunted C-U Blogfidential<\/strong> touch as we rumble spookily towards that time of year we adore wholeheartedly, Halloween<\/strong> season!<\/p>\n

Up first is our formal confirmation that, indeed<\/em>, the next issue of print companion C-U Confidential<\/strong> is on track to be placed in the hands of our trusted long-time printer, the Premier Print Group<\/strong><\/a> of Champaign, next week! Our distribution plot is to engage in an immediate hard launch once we receive those sweet-smelling cartons back from Premier. CUZine #7<\/strong> will recap in detail all the recent film culture we can cram into 32 pages, including two special pieces we\u2019ll preview for you right now!<\/p>\n

An exclusive \u201cscene\u201d article will provide you with a rapid-fire guide to the upcoming regional festivals: the Freeky Creek Short Film Festival<\/strong> in Fairmount<\/strong> (October 31-November 2<\/strong>), the Route 66 International Film Festival<\/strong> in Springfield<\/strong> (November 1-2<\/strong>), the Drunken Zombie Film Festival<\/strong> in Peoria<\/strong> (November 2-3<\/strong>), and the Embarras Valley Film Festival<\/strong> in Charleston<\/strong> (November 7-9<\/strong>). We hope this will inspire readers to investigate one or more of these events as they unfold within a bustling 10-day stretch!<\/p>\n

We are also delighted to announce that, for the first time in eons, CUZine<\/strong> is an event sponsor outside our regular shepherding duties at the New Art Film Festival<\/strong>. Look for our logo and overall presence at this year\u2019s Drunken Zombie fest<\/a>, set to infest the Landmark Cinemas, 3225 N. Dries Lane, Peoria<\/strong>. Crossing fingers we can mop up our own bloody mess at the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters<\/strong> in time to visit DZFF in person; check them out if aggressive, full-on indie horror is your fall flavor of choice!<\/p>\n

Another awesome spread in CUZine #7<\/strong> is a sneak peek at a local history title, The Art Theater: Playing Movies for 100 Years<\/span><\/strong> by Perry C. Morris, Joe Muskin<\/strong>, and Audrey Wells<\/strong><\/a>, which will be unveiled two weeks after we street. During the 6 p.m.<\/strong> \u201c100th anniversary\u201d program on Tuesday, November 12<\/strong>, at the Art Co-op, 126 W. Church St., Champaign<\/strong>, the authors will talk about and sell their 166-page labor of love recounting the Art\u2019s first century in existence. We can also reveal your humble editor had the distinct honor of designing The Art Theater<\/span> at his daytime gig, Adept Content Solutions<\/strong><\/a> of Urbana.<\/p>\n

It is apparent from this convergence of activity in the C-U that everything Confidential is having a solid impact upon our homegrown culture, and for these opportunities we are grateful. Keep us in the know and on call, gang!<\/p>\n

Time to make some noise about ourselves, dearest readers! Coming soon are the Drunken Zombie Film Festival in Peoria on November 1-2, 2013, which we’re co-sponsoring, and the new Art Theater history book, which your editor designed.
