Remember the Guess Brothers? They're the guys from Muncie who raised money using Kickstarter to help produce their newest opus, The Unhuman. According to a recent blog post they're almost finished shooting and intend to wrap by year's end. A few weeks ago their first effort, the short film Don't Go Into the Woods, was honored with a screening at The Drunken Zombie Film Festival in Peoria. Sadly neither could attend since the event was held at a theatre/bar and they're both underage! Head on over to their Kickstarter page and check out the trailer for the new movie. It's got a hatching alien egg and everything.

Co-helmer Jacob, 13, sketched out the story for us: "A group of teens are working on a video project for school when a meteor lands bringing with it an alien infection. When some of the friends start showing up dead the remaining group must figure out which one of them (if any) have been infected by the virus." His brother Michael, 14, adds, "We know that there's been many different movies made with storylines like this. Beginning with Invasion of the Body Snatchers going all the way through to Slither. I don't want to say too much, but we're doing our own twist on this idea."

NIU came up short against the Ball State Cardinals on Tuesday, losing 60-54. The Huskies led by seven at the break, but could only cobble together 20 points in the second half as their lead slipped away. Poor free-throw shooting didn't help, as the Huskies missed 12 of 20 from the stripe. Despite the lack of offensive production, NIU hung tough until the final minutes. The Huskies' Darion Anderson led both squads in points and co-led in rebounds, with 16 and eight respectively. Now midway through the season, NIU stands at 5-9.
