Locally Filmed Film WIN WIN at Long Hill Library

Join us at the Long Hill Library on Wednesday, Oct 3, or Saturday, Oct 22, for a screening of Win Win, a 2011 official Sundance Selected Film. Win Win is a sweet and funny movie starring Paul Giamatti. What makes it even more special for us is that it was written by New Providence attorney Joe Tiboni and filmed right here in NJ. Check out the scenes in New Providence and try to spot local sites!

Directed by Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent), "the comedy drama centers on a beleaguered attorney and part-time wrestling coach at New Providence HS who schemes to keep his practice from going under by acting as the legal caretaker of an elderly client. Mike Flaherty (Giamatti) thinks he has discovered the perfect loophole to keep his practice in business. But his brilliant plan hits an unexpected hitch when his client's troubled grandson shows up looking for a place to stay. With his home life in turmoil and both of his careers in jeopardy, Mike quickly realizes that he'll have to get creative in order to find a way out of his current predicament." -Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Win Win is rated R for language. View the trailer here:

MEET THE AUTHOR at the LONG HILL LIBRARY


Long Hill Library presents Murder is a Laughing Matter: Humor in Mysteries

on Thursday, September 22 at 7:00 pm.

Attention mystery fans! New Jersey writer, Jeff Cohen, will be at the Long Hill Township Library on Thursday, September 22, at 7:00 pm.

Jeff is the author of intentionally funny murder mysteries in the Double Feature and Aaron Tucker series. He’s been writing since graduating from Rutgers College and has had articles published in The New York Times, USA Weekend, TV Guide, Premiere, Writer’s Digest, American Baby, Hollywood Scriptwriter and many others.


Jeff’s book, For Whom the Minivan Rolls, was published by Bancroft Press in 2002. It was followed in the Aaron Tucker series by A Farewell to Legs and As Dog Is My Witness. The Double Feature Mystery series from Berkley Prime Crime began with Some Like It Hot-Buttered, which introduced Elliot Freed and his all-comedy movie theater, Comedy Tonight. The series continued with It Happened One Knife and A Night at the Operation.


Under the name E.J. Copperman, Jeff writes the Haunted Guesthouse Mystery series, which began with Night of the Living Deed and continues with An Uninvited Ghost. The third book in the series, Old Haunts, is scheduled for publication in 2012.


Come on out to meet Jeff. You’re sure to learn a lot about mysteries and writing and oh yes, laughing.


The event is free but registration is requested. Please call or stop in at the library to sign-up.
