OWNER / STUDIO OPERATOR / FILMMAKER
I am a 32 year old filmmaker from Poughkeepsie, NY. I opened Good Time Film Studio in July of 2021 after several long months of planning as well as several years in the film industry. I was used to driving to Brooklyn weekly to video production studios that smelled like garbage, didn’t have basic equipment and would charge very high per hour. Even when we landed at a good space, it was still a long commute. We worked hard to bring something a lot closer to our home in the Hudson valley that provided all of these things in abundance at a much more affordable rate. We are proud to offer such a professional and comfortable space that honors filmmaking principles.
I have worked on projects big an small in various roles. Other than filmmaking I am a huge soccer fan and sometimes both worlds collide when I shoot for Major League Soccer in the summer. I currently live in Poughkeepsie with my wife Angela and pup Ellie.
ADAM FIELDS
STUDIO ENGINEER / FILMMAKER
My name is Adam Fields and I am a 22 year old videographer from Poughkeepsie, NY. I am fortunate enough to say I’ve been with Good Time since the beginning, and seeing it grow from the ground up has been an amazing experience. I am a recent college graduate from SUNY Cortland where I as a Biology Major, but I also created videos for the athletics department. I have continued to work with local athlete but have also been exposed to all areas of filmmaking, from weddings, to short films, to music videos, all thanks to Good Time. The learning experience has been great, and I hope to continue to help creatives bring their visions to life.
Along with filmmaking I am an avid snowboarder and enjoy working out. I currently live in Poughkeepsie, NY
HAYDEN KOLACHIK
STUDIO ENGINEER / FILM STUDENT
I am a 19 year old filmmaker from Poughkeepsie, NY and have always been into filmmaking from an early age. Whether I was making stop motion Lego videos, short films with my siblings, or high school projects in high school, I was always creating. I have worked on countless sets with Good Time, filling numerous rolls, along with leading some of my own personal projects. My goal is to challenge myself, and others, to find new ways of filmmaking, where it is through story telling, visuals or production.
I am currently attending The Los Angeles Film School where I am majoring in directing and missing a good bacon, eggs & cheese.
EMILY KUCHARZYK
FILM STUDENT / INTERN
I am a 19 year old filmmaker from New Paltz, NY. I am currently attending college at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Much of my directing experience is short form narrative student films as well as fashion editorials.
Film is such a special medium to me because it allows you to tell stories that may go untold in such a creative manner. I find inspiration in my own reality, human nature, and feelings evoked from the environment.
Other than narrative films, I am well connected and interested in the fashion industry and I am pursuing creative directing. I value being thorough and doing things the right way to support a creative vision - something Good Time is known for.
NICK SPINA
FILM STUDENT / INTERN
My name is Nick Spina and I am a 21 year old videographer from Niantic, Ct. I am currently a Senior at Marist College, majoring in Media Studies and Production with a minor in business. I am expected to graduate in Spring 2023. I spend the majority of my time shooting social media videos/photo content for the schools D1 athletic teams and I am always looking for a way to tell a story within the athletic field. I have become a part of the crew here at Good Time over the last few months and I have learned a tremendous amount from both Derek & Adam. I am excited to continue learning and help contribute to the growth at Good Time brand.
When I am not behind the camera, I am a diehard New York Rangers fan and I am often seen at The Garden. During the summer I love to go fishing with my dad and spend time with my family on Block Island.
