Former Cherub has movie released!

Hey everybody! Slow week here at NHSI as we continue to prepare for the sending out of applications in the next couple months.

I wanted to quickly give you some info about the release of a feature-length animated movie, produced, written, and directed by 1987(? Yeah? I'll have to double check on that year) media arts cherub - Marc Adler. Of course, we are always incredibly proud of everything our former students do, but we wanted to make special mention of Marc's movie - titled Delgo - because it's scheduled for a nationwide release on December 12th.

Official Film Site

Delgo on IMDb

This project has some big-name talent, including Freddie Prinze Jr., Anne Bancroft, Val Kilmer, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. We whole-heartedly encourage all cherub alum to support the success of a fellow student!

I imagine we here at the NHSI office will be seeing the movie shortly after its release here in Evanston. If anyone would like to join us, shoot us an email at nhsi@northwestern.edu and we'll make an outing of it!

And once again, for the success of his film, we offer our sincerest congratulations to Marc and all those who worked on Delgo!

We want to know where you are!

Ok folks, it's been requested by several people (and if you saw my facebook message you'll know what I'm about to request) that we compile a list of networks where cherubs can be found. This is the first step in coordinating cherub get-togethers, dinners, etc. Obviously this is a completely voluntary thing, so if you don't want to get involved, you shouldn't feel any pressure to.

What we need from you is: University attended AND/OR networks you belong to (cities, regions, or countries if we have cherubs abroad!) . All you need to do is leave a comment on this post with the info, or you can send it to nhsi@northwestern.edu where we can find it as well.

This list could serve a number of functions. For example, if, over the next few months, we note that a former Theatre Arts cherub is being featured in a show in Chicago, we can say, "Calling all Chicago cherubs! Let's see a show!" Or, let's say that a former Journalism cherub is having an article or essay published in a northeastern regional publication. We can let all the cherubs up there know to check it out. That's one of the purposes of setting up this alumni network!

So get those locations in, if you want to kept up to date!


PS - if you're involved in a noteworthy event (play, publishing, etc.), LET US KNOW! We just had a former film cherub tell us about the premiere of an independent movie he produced coming up in December that will be here in Chicago. We'll get you more info about the movie when he sends us the website.
