Congrats to Tim McArdle and the Independent Artists Collaborative

Congratulations to the talented and nice guy Tim McArdle and his partner Henry Slattery for getting their script selected by the Ed Wood (Film Festival). I read about Tim’s success in the Ulster County Press, a great local paper. I am often asked how I started writing my travel stuff and I find that people aren’t really interested. Tim was the opposite; he would come out to the house for a cup of coffee and ask questions. At the time he was already an accomplished musician. It seems that his talent is backed up by motivation, a key element to success. The film, “Four”, will premier at the Spectrum Theater in Albany on Sept. 27 and run through Oct. 4.

He is part of a new local independent film group named IAC or Independent Artists Collaborative, founded by Michalina Almindo, Evan Leone, Christina Vinsick and Jim D’Ippolito. It is great to have artistic movers and shakers here in Kingston.
