The Future!
In a nutshell, I ended up not liking the grad program at the Savannah College of Art and Design- so I am back home in Massachusetts/Rhode Island for good! Ari and I are setting up a videography business, so we will be very busy with that for the next few months. Catch our updates for the company at: acrolabmedia.com

But here's the update for Tim n' Ari... While at school I discovered the genius that is Tim and Eric (I really don't know how I hadn't heard of them before), so Ari and I will be changing our show's name for obvious, similar reasons. We're still brainstorming, but we'll think of one soon. We're going to put out shorts from time to time, so be sure to keep checking the site and YouTube channel. But that's about it for now-

Love, Tim

Wha' happened?
ABC6 is what happened. Ari and I had about two shows written, started writing on our third, and
had already begun filming for the first. We were working closely with our composer, Nathanael
Tronerud, and things were going great. I had suggested Ari at the station and he got hired...
Unfortunately right when our station purchase had kicked in, people were laid off, employees quit, and everything went to hell- including the start of a 4 PM show. This is where Ari and I were mainly placed.

Because of the lack of manpower, our schedules were eaten up to every shift possible. We lost sleep, we lost energy... it wasn't good. Our project fell apart, with only a few skits partially filmed, and one we could actually release just to have at least something.

Now, the point of getting these sketch shows completed quickly was because I'm leaving for grad school September 10th. Honestly, because of what ABC6 put me through, I don't even remember the month of July.

We were able to crank out one last skit before I leave. When I come back for holiday- no, fuck that. CHRISTMAS break. We're going to crank out some more for you guys.

Love, Tim
