With C-U Blogfidential <\/strong>being off its game during the bulk of the summer following an exhilarating stretch of time bopping between three local film sets, the eleventh edition of “Ebertfest<\/strong>,” and the crimson-colored third issue of C-U Confidential<\/strong>, many stories alighted on the back burner instead of heating up the Interwebs where they belonged. Such is the case with legit coverage of everyone\u2019s favorite new C-U dance movie, LEADING LADIES<\/strong>, which several other area publications handled capably. The project has attracted attention outside our corn-studded cities as well, starting with the modern dance on-line weekly, GenDance<\/span>.com<\/strong>, which published a series of interviews with key LADIES <\/strong>personnel last month.<\/p>\n

Producer\/co-director Daniel Beahm <\/strong>reports in a LADIES<\/strong> e-newsletter\u00a0that GenDance<\/span> interviewed himself and co-director\/co-writer Erika Randall Beahm <\/strong>for their August 13 <\/strong>edition<\/a> while conversations with the primary cast members \u2013 Melanie LaPatin, Benji Schwimmer, Laurel Vail, Shannon Lea Smith<\/strong>, and Nicole Dionne <\/strong>\u2013 dominated the August 27 <\/strong>issue<\/a>. Beahm also states that editing is progressing at a clip with the hiring of two assistant editors to help along his own efforts; several scenes have been assembled and the first trailer is on the way. Finally, he reveals that extensive updates to the official Web site will probably wait until post-production is complete, but one can always look for news on the Facebook<\/strong> page<\/a>\u00a0or skim the extensive who\u2019s-who list<\/a> added to IMDb.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And, CUBlog <\/strong>stumbled upon the tidbit that LEADING LADIES <\/strong>dancer Kherington Payne<\/strong>, who figures in the film\u2019s grocery store fantasy sequence, is also a featured performer in the remake of FAME <\/strong>which opens nationwide on September 25<\/strong> from United Artists<\/strong>. Take that one with you to the water cooler on Tuesday after enjoying the holiday tomorrow \u2013 with a spring in your step, of course.<\/p>\n
