Tim Molchany is a Professor of Communication and Film at Northampton Community College, advisor of the NCC Film Club, and a long time member of the Cinema Advisory Committee at ArtsQuest. His love of movies and film began as a young man and continues to this day. In the late 1980s and early 1990s – prior to his teaching career – he worked as the Clubhouse Manager for the New York Yankees AA affiliate that at the time was based in Albany, NY where he attended The University at Albany. Recently he has helped coordinate and support film screenings sponsored by Northampton Community College and shown at The Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas. He loves films from Hollywood’s Golden Age and baseball and The Natural is among his favorite baseball films. “The Natural is a throwback to an earlier era of filmmaking that has the look and feel of the classic films produced in the golden age of Hollywood. It’s a must watch for all baseball fans”.
