Some Press For The Force Among Us Posted By Mike on June 28, 2009
Cris and Cortney Macht's The Force Among Us, along with our friend John Tenuto and others, are getting a bit of press from the Evanston Review. Check out the excerpt below and click here for the full article.
"The film was made by brother-and-sister team Cris and Cortney Macht after Cris fell into a funk about the end of the "Star Wars" movie franchise in 2006. It was Cortney's idea to make a fan movie, but it grew into a full blown documentary that took seven months to shoot.
Some of that filming was at the College of Lake County, and includes sociology professor and local resident John Tenuto and students Chris Hamilton and Grant Ragain.
Tenuto, 40, who often incorporates science fiction into his classes (he's taught Introduction to Sociology: Star Wars Edition and The Sociology of Star Trek), was approached by the Machts after they had learned of a study he had done that tears down common stereotypes of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" fans as nerds who are mostly socially awkward males who have never kissed a girl and who live in their parents' basements well into their adult years."
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
