An adjacent barn would be a bonus but they are willing to build if necessary.

HOLLYWOOD AT THE HUNT BUILDING
Hollywood At The Hunt Building
By Paul Smart
ELLENVILLE – Production manager Patrick Eaton is professional, as is Sabine Schenk, the producer he's working with on the film they started shooting in Ellenville Monday morning, Unintended. The two usually work in New York City, helping European productions navigate the complexities of shooting in our nation's largest city. She's German, his family's French. Their background is impressive, working on everything from photo shoots and commercials to academy award winning movies such as The Reader.
Unintended is written and directed by Anja Murmann, an NYU film school graduate who got to know Upstate New York after her first short film played the Woodstock Film Festival. Her first feature, Fifteen Months in May, won "Best New Director – Special Mention " at the San Sebastian International Film Festival. The two stars are Elizabeth Lail, who starred as Anna in television's Once Upon A Time, and plays Natalie on The Blacklist, and Sean Cullen, a Broadway actor with extensive film and television credits.

LOCAL ACTORS IN PSYCHO THERAPY
Tom Cherwin has written two one-act comedies, together comprising an hour and a half of, with any luck, entertainment. The plays are going to be performed at Frank Marquette's Chocolate Arts Factory, 54 Elizabeth Street, Red Hook, on Friday, July 14, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, July 15, at 8; and Sunday, July 16, at 3.
The cast members are the talented and locally well-known actors Chris Bailey, Ron Morehead, Linda Reznick, and Dorothea Swiac, plus Mr. Cherwin. The shows have been directed by Mr. Cherwin, his brother Ric, and NYC director Susanne Traub.
Many of you will be busy or uninterested, or even averse; that's showbiz. But if those of you who are interested, and who think you'll be able to attend, could make reservations by June 29, you'd be doing a solid for all involved (if you're not sure which date'll work for you, no problem--reservations for one performance can be changed later to another date that weekend). Here's why I'm asking: If enough people reserve by June 29, Mr. Marquette will give the shows at least three additional performances.
To reserve, either call the box office at (845) 475-7973 or go to www.artsatthefactory.com. Tickets are $20.
Any questions or complaints (such as wondering why you received two copies of this email, or why the hell you received even one copy of it, or why you didn't receive any at all--in which case, actually, you won't know the difference), feel free to email me at tomcherwin@gmail.com or to call me at (845) 246-1710.
