Richmond’s Passion Drives “CU Weather”
by Chris Karenbauer
It was a Sunday afternoon when Ben Richmond discovered his new love. His brother had a jam session after church. So, the family stayed behind. The skies grew dark and the clouds heavy. The power inside the church went out. The calm before the storm.
Suddenly, the wind blew so hard that leaves spun just outside the window, while trees fell from their place. Richmond placed a hand on the window. He felt the window vibrate under the pressure of the wind.

The Rat in the Panther’s Den: “Judas and the Black Messiah” Tells a Poignantly Tragic Story of Betrayal
by Sam Acosta
“Judas and the Black Messiah” is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Not only is it a beautiful piece of cinema, but it also tells a story that deserves to be heard.
