Independent horror film uses Uptown Janesville mall for filming location

JANESVILLE — The Uptown Janesville mall has been haunted by an increase in kids who are involved in youth hockey and other sports at the adjacent Woodman’s Center, but that’s not very spooky. At least, not as spooky as what’s been going on in the background. Local residents have been talking for weeks about a Wisconsin shopping mall that serves as the filming location for a new, as-yet-unreleased horror film, ”The Space Between.” They say stills and snippets from the film shown in internet teases make it clear: From the concourse’s walkways, to the mall’s center court, it’s clear that the movie was filmed at the Uptown Janesville mall. The talk is true. Julie Cubbage, Uptown Janesville’s onsite manager for owner Rockstep Capital, confirms that Candorem, a regional production crew out of Madison, filmed for several days at the mall, including a stint in September. The film crew shot scenes at the mall exclusively at night. That is because the film itself, “The Space Between,” is a psychological thriller focused on a single night shift for a security guard at a once-bustling shopping mall. She said the crews used the mall’s public spaces and some of the office spaces in

November is Native American Heritage Month. Celebrate with Indigenous art.

Shekóli (“hello” in Oneida) and yaw^ko (“thank you”) for reading the First Nations Wisconsin newsletter. November is Native American Heritage Month and Indigenous artists are celebrating by showcasing their work. On Nov. 7 and 8, the Woodland Indian Art Show and Market will feature the work of 45 Indigenous artisans at the Oneida Hotel in Green Bay. Carvings, jewelry, weaving, pottery, quillwork and beadwork will all be on sale. As part of the event, the Thee Clans Ballroom will feature the Oneida Hymn Singers, an Indigenous fashion show and a book reading of “Drums Along the Fox” by Rick Church. On Saturday, Nov. 14, the Native Art Market will feature more than 40 Indigenous artists at the Arts and Literature Laboratory in Madison. Indigenous artwork typically blends cultural meaning with functionality. Oneida artists in Wisconsin, for example, are earning praise for incorporating Haudenosaunee raised beadwork into their pieces. Karen Ann Hoffman recently announced her piece “Elder Brother, the Sun” – a large, yellow velvet urn embellished with Haudenosaunee raised beadwork – is now on display at EPCOT, part of Walt Disney World in Florida. “Our traditions inspired this piece," she said. "We’re instructed to be mindful and grateful for our
