by the fictional British Broadcasting Company, playing on Confederate Television. The instructors used real paintings and photographs to recreate history.
"It's very easy to take a painting of General Lee and General Grant shaking hands and recast it as Grant being the one who's surrendering," said Jacobson, who has worked with stars from Madonna to Fight Club director David Fincher.
The film, which has been partly funded by the National Black Programming Consortium, is interrupted by the kinds of commercials that might play if a Confederate television station existed. A fictional Web company, "eSlave," advertises online slave purchases. Another commercial offers a product called "the shackle."
"It's going to be controversial. We're not doing this just to be shocking or sensational, though. We want to get people talking."
Matt Jacobson cinematographer
The instructors are racing toward a planned February 2003 premierepos-
sibly to be held in Lawrence just in time for Langston Hughes month.
"It's going to be controversial," Jacobson said. "We're not doing this just to be shocking or sensational, though. We want to get people talking."
Peter Ukpokodu, chairman of the department of African and African-American studies, said the film's sensitive topic was worth visiting, though judging the past is difficult.
"We have a way of looking at our past, because we can only look from a contemporary perspective," Ukpokodu said.
Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) and Twentieth Century Fox bought a screenplay from Willmott about abolitionist John Brown. Willmott
said production might be hindered by low earnings of slavery-themed movies like Beloved in recent years.
Jacobson said such corporate issues made filming CSA in the "hip" Lawrence area more thrilling.
Willmott said people in Lawrence eagerly approached the project.
"People here aren't jaded about films," Willmott said. "You get volunteers. That doesn't happen in New York or L.A."
The CSA crew, which includes the instructors' students, works for free and donates whatever downtime they have to the project, Jacobson said.
