Editor's Notebook: NPHS Grads Create a 'Win Win' for New Providence

If you haven’t heard the buzz about yet, a new film that features acclaimed actor Paul Giamatti in a hooded green-and-gold New Providence Pioneers sweatshirt and numerous scenes from the borough, you may begin to see the trailer on your TV in the next few weeks. The film’s director and writer Tom McCarthy graduated from NP High more than 25 years ago and went on to receive acclaim as writer and director of The Visitor (2007) and The Station Agent (2003), and is one of the writers behind the story for the animated film Up for which he received an Academy Award nomination in 2010 for Best Original Screenplay. Joe Tiboni, who worked with his childhood friend McCarthy to write the story for Win Win, was also an NP Pioneer before graduating in 1984, and remains a resident and businessman in the borough. The movie is set to release on March 18. And that wasn't all that we featured on New Providence Patch this week. Keep reading for the complete rundown:
