Local Movie Premiere!

THis weekend was the local premiere of my sister-in-law's movie that was filmed exclusively in C-U and at Allerton. Yup, My sister in law, Jennifer Bechtel, co-wrote a movie four years ago and they actually made it! It's awesome. They have two big names too. Benji Schwimmer ( season 2 winner from So You Think You Can Dance) and Melanie Lapatin ( world- renowned choreographer for movies and So You THink You Can Dance)

This is the marquee outside of the ART Theater is Champaign
I took some pictures during the previews- what can I say- I'm a proud sister!

The movie was really wonderful and the quality was superb! After the show, the writers ( Erika in the flowered dress and Jennifer in the turquoise shirt), did a Q & A and then addresses their many fans. It was so fun to see them!

Check out the trailer.
