Around the Chronicle

A2: Russ Collins
Russ Collins, executive director of the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, has been named to Indiewire’s 2013 inaugural list of “influencers” in the independent film industry. Collins has led Art House Convergence, an annual conference of art house owners, for six years. From an Indiewire interview with Collins: “Coming together for movies in a social context happens because we’re social creatures. It’s a profound psychological experience, and just like there’s a different impact listening to a musician in real life, so it is with film.” [Source]

Derezinski Not Nominated for Planning Commission
In the live updates filed directly from the city council’s June 3, 2013 meeting, and in the meeting report that was published subsequently, The Chronicle reported incorrectly that Tony Derezinski had been nominated for re-appointment to the city planning commission. While his name was originally included in a nomination list, his name was not read aloud by mayor John Hieftje at the meeting. And The Chronicle has since learned that Derezinski is not expected to be nominated for re-appointment to serve on the planning commission. We note the mistake here and have corrected the error in the two previous items. [link 1] [link 2]
