Amber Tamblyn, new indie princess?




Forget "General Hospital." Significant roles in intelligent films and poetry writing are the MO for Amber Tamblyn, who stars in "Stephanie Daley," a film shot in the Hudson Valley and being screened as a fundraiser for the Dutchess County Arts Council's arts fund on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck.

As of this writing, advance tickets -- $20 -- were still available for the screening, Q&A with director and New Paltz resident Hilary Brougher and reception.

"Stephanie Daley," about a 16-year-old (played by Tamblyn) who is accused of concealing her pregnancy and killing her infant, premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival in October.

It also stars Tilda Swinton, Timothy Hutton and the Hudson Valley's own indie queen, Melissa Leo.

"Stephanie Daley" opens in New York City on April 20. Catch it in Rhinebeck first.
