The Midwest is a special place. Granted, it doesn’t have real mountains or the ocean or a film metropolis like New York or LA, but we love it. There’s a certain unpretentiousness, a genuineness, and a real drive to make up for all that isn’t here. We believe great things come out of the Midwest.
And the MW has Rockford’ IL’s Storefront Cinema! http://www.storefrontcinema.com/storfrnt.htm
(a friend of mine went to college near Rockford, apparently the 3rd largest city in IL),
and Chicago’s Columbia College (excellent school for film & performance art, I dropped out of there, but got a lot out of it while I was there, & they consider me an alumnus :).

I’ll be looking for you and your flick, Sujewa. Any chance you’ll be hitting the MI area?
I generally don’t support giving a company your money so that you can wear one of their advertisements. However, I am a hypocrite in whose heart the Midwest holds a special place. So I submit this link to you in case that you’ve not seen it yet. If I were you I would buy this shirt. I’d even buy it if I weren’t you.
