The Origin of the CU Film Society
The CU Film Society was first thought up by myself, Luke Boyce, and my business partner, Brett Hays, somewhere around September 2010. Together we own and operate a small independent film production company called “Shatterglass Studios“. Some of you might recognize our name as we’ve produced several award-winning shorts and features, mostly shot in the Champaign and Chicago area’s. In 2009, we managed and co-produced the award-winning feature “Leading Ladies”, directed by Daniel and Erika Randall Beahm. It was the first full-length film that we had produced in Champaign and the cooperation that we found in the area was breathtaking. Champaign-Urbana is not only a brilliantly progressive and culturally-savvy town, but it is full of completely wonderful people who are infinitely supportive of the arts. For decades, many of us who have resided here have seen this first-hand with our amazing music scene, but there has been an underlying scene of local filmmakers and film-lovers in this town that have been crying out for their own community as well.
