KU professor's film struck big gains production company
C. S.A.: The Confederate States of America is poised to make an appearance on a somewhat larger stage.
The film by Kevin Willmott, a University of Kansas associate professor of theatre and film, which was chosen to play at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, had its theatrical distribution rights purchased by IFC Films Wednesday.
Other motion picture distribution companies such as Miramax Films and Newmarket Films were in negotiations for the distribution rights, but Willmott said that IFC was the best option.
"We think IFC is a good home for the film," Willmott said, "We couldn't be happier about it."
Last year, IFC films purchased the rights to My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and the movie went on to be a box-office success.
Willmott said that there were no present plans for a showing for KU students upon his return today, but that after talks with the distribution company, a showing was probable.

Center blames authorities for handling of crypto virus
LAWRENCE — An outbreak of infection by a diarrhea-inducing parasite might have been more than six times worse than previously reported, a new federal report shows.
The report from the federal Centers for Disease Control, made public Friday by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, shows that the cryptosporidiosis outbreak last summer in Lawrence might have infected 600 people
The report also suggests that the disease's spread could have been slowed if health authorities had alerted the community sooner.
But Douglas County and state authorities said they took the correct action during the outbreak based on what they knew at the time.
Authorities said they waited to alert the public because they weren't sure the cases were related.
