The Cinema Arts Centre

The Cinema Arts Centre (CAC), located on Long Island’s North Shore just an hour from Manhattan, is the region’s premier independent and international film showcase. As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit community cinema, the CAC features three state-of-the-art theaters, including a main theater with nearly 300 seats.

Founded by Vic Skolnick, Charlotte Sky, and Dylan Skolnick in 1973, the CAC boasts over 10,000 members and serves approximately 150,000 individuals annually. Its unique programming includes compelling American and international films, restored classics, popular favorites, and cutting-edge cinema, along with an impressive array of monthly film series often paired with music, art exhibits, and more.

The CAC also offers robust educational programming, including workshops in screenwriting and filmmaking, and a Film Arts in Education program that enhances the curriculum for Long Island middle and high school students. The center has hosted numerous in-person discussions and receptions with directors, celebrities, scholars, and critics such as Brooke Adams, Robert Altman, Carol Burnett, and Ang Lee.

Community groups frequently use the CAC as a platform for education and advocacy on issues like the environment, healthcare, and human rights. Through these diverse offerings, the CAC significantly contributes to the local quality of life, positively impacts the economy, and provides a vital venue for fellowship and the exchange of ideas, solidifying its role as a true community center.

Melissa Farrell

Melissa Farrell has a mission to support local business by "Going Local." As a local business owner herself, she understands the struggles entrepreneurs face when owning a business and is always trying to find ways to shine a spotlight onto them. Melissa started Going Local Tours & Experiences back in 2020 during the pandemic in hopes to bring people back into local restaurants and shops. She created food tours in Huntington, NY that would stop at 3-4 local businesses and gave the guests the chance to meet the owner and hear the story behind the business. She soon realized how powerful storytelling is when connecting people to local businesses and created options with local store owners as well to bring them onto the tour to share their story. Melissa wanted to expand out of Huntington to be able to support even more local businesses and started creating luxury picnics where she would bring local to you! She would find local businesses in the area of the picnic set up and deliver it to you offering ways to support over 3 local businesses at each picnic. This wasn't enough. She wanted to find a better way to help spread awareness of local businesses and share their stories. Enter Evangeline Knell...a woman with over 30 years of broadcasting experience who somehow convinced Melissa to host a 3 day live stream from the Huntington Fall Festival. She had never been on camera before, but working alongside Evie to create the 3 shows, gave Melissa the confidence to take on the challenge. The 3 shows produced focused on the local vendors, the food trucks and the events that occurred at the festival and had a much larger reach than Melissa could ever of done on her own. They soon realized a business partnership was needed and combined their two businesses, Identity Digital which is a production company and Going Local Tours and Experiences to form Going Local Media. Evie and Melissa even formed their own distribution outlet by creating Going Local TV, a streaming platform like Netflix or YouTube, that is all about local businesses, events and organizations on Long Island. There are over 200 videos including their podcast series "Let's Get Local" "Long Island Business Minds" and "Local Business Spotlight" that help spread awareness of our local businesses and Long Island Professionals. They are always thinking up new ways to support local, including this site, Going Local Today that is a directory of articles on how to Go Local on Long Island. We appreciate you taking the time to read this and for supporting local! Thank you!
