THE FOLLOWING IS A NEWS GAZETTE STORY BY JENNIFER BAILEY
OAKWOOD — Before heading back to her native Vermilion County this weekend to film scenes for a movie, Crystal Hughes has been keeping especially close tabs on farm field conditions through family and friends.
It’s the kind of information the Los Angeles independent filmmaker needs to know, given the title of the movie she’ll direct, produce and star in: “Children of the Cornfield.”
It’s “basically a horror/comedy spoof, documentary-style,” the Oakwood product said this week. “It’s a whole funny thing.”
Hughes will be joined by a cinematographer and sound mixer, who’ll be at locations that include the Fischer Theatre and Sport Clips in Danville, friend Gabe and Jennie Shepherd’s farm in Fithian, an abandoned cemetery in Oakwood, an Airbnb at Kickapoo State Park — and, of course, local cornfields.
