September 19

8 p.m.: “Goodbye to All That” (opening night feature) directed by Angus MacLachlan A light-hearted comedy about divorce in the age of smartphones and online dating, “Goodbye to All That” follows the loveable, if clueless, Otto (Paul Schneider) through his first befuddled months after his wife (Melanie Lynskey) unceremoniously files for divorce. Costarring Amy Sedaris, Heather Graham, and Heather Lawless, the film chronicles Otto’s surprisingly prolific sexual encounters, each pushing him beyond his comfort zone. Directed by screenwriter Angus MacLachlan, best known for writing the 2005 film “Junebug,” the film is ultimately a portrait of a good man struggling to be a role model and reliable parent for his pre-teen daughter (played by the show-stopping Audrey P. Scott). continued on page 7

The best of Sullivan County's Catskills – and beyond – awaits in neatly lined rows of canned goods, plants, spices, baked goods, snacks, frozen foods, and freshly-prepared sandwiches, pies and cookies. “Our customers tell us we have a better selection than can be found in New York City,” claims founder and owner Will Foster. That's where Will spent 20 years prior to making the move to his cabin in the woods up here in the mountains. Like so many others, Will was increasingly “playing hooky” from work when he realized that a FA L L 2 0 1 4

permanent change in scenery was due. One day circa 2007, an old turkey farm along Route 52 in Liberty came up for sale, and Will figured it was his best chance at living the full-time good life in the country. “The original intention was this was going to be a true farmstand,” he recalls. Back then, though, there just wasn't enough locally grown produce to make it viable, so he made the wise decision to open a full-fledged market. Today, talk to anycontinued on page 12

We sell 250 baguettes a week!” Will's four staff members – Bryan, Nick, Pat and Linda – also make for a memorable trip, their customer service skills par excellence. They take care of a store that is immaculate, well-stocked and carefully designed, every day. “I want to give that nice presence – something different,” affirms Will. 12 C AT S K I L L S
