The Coin On IMDb

There is no shortage of short film news today

Last time we had a post like this it was for Confections Of A Discarded Woman and it was still early days and unconfirmed. This time things are a little more certain, as we’ve already seen.

The short film The Coin, by director Fabien Martorell, has been added to IMDb. As we discovered previously they only do this for short films once they’ve been completed.

At the time of writing Kathryn has not been added to the cast list and neither has Christopher Lloyd. No doubt that will change very soon. There are no plot details given so far but there are a few other interesting tidbits of information to be gleaned from the page:

The film is 9 minutes long
The release date is 17th September 2012 (a Monday)

At 9 minutes it is definitely a short film, let’s hope for 8.5 minutes of Kathryn

So far I’ve been unable to determine what that release date means. For a short film it is most likely to be a film festival or similar but it could be meaningless as it is all subject to change.

See the The Coin on IMDb.

More when we get it.

Sunday’s Mother @ Phenom Film Fest 2012

phenomfilmfest_100x150 Sunday’s Mother, the short film Kathryn made last year, has been submitted to the Phenom Film Fest for 2012.

The Phenom Film Fest takes place in Bossier City, Louisiana, over four days in early September. More information can be found on the event’s website HERE.

The film was made the “short film submission of the week” by the organisers yesterday (22 July 2012) just before the time to submit entries closed.

We will bring you more news on festival and the part Sunday’s Mother plays when we get it.

For more information on and the trailer for Sunday’s Mother, a film partly funded by KM UK and it’s readers, see previous posts.

Kathryn On Set Of Confections – 4th Photo

We should start this post by passing on our condolences to Michael Damian, writer/director/producer of Confections Of A Discarded Woman, as his father recently passed away. Our thoughts are with him and his family, which includes his wife and co-writer Janeen, seen on the left above.

We have an additional photo of Kathryn on the set of Confections with Michael (2nd from left) and other members of the cast and crew. It is now in the Gallery. With Kathryn’s outfit including an apron and there being other kitchen-y elements around them suggests that this is the set for the bakery that the film, in part at least, is based.

Credit again to Michael for the photo.

The Coin Details & On Set Photo

I have managed to track down a few details on the film The Coin that we recently discovered Kathryn was filming. But first let’s deal with the image above which has no doubt caught your eye.

In the photo you can see (left to right) actor Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future), director & co-writer Fabien Martorell, Kathryn, and co-writer & producer Golan. Just out of shot (see the Gallery for the full image) is young Jack Shepherd.

Other than the cast, which also includes Adam McArthur and Jesse Burges, we can bring you the following information:

It is a short film
Filming was completed in just a couple of days
The filming wrapped on Wednesday the 4th of July 2012
Christopher could be playing a homeless man or some kind of vagrant

At this stage I don’t know any more details about the plot but if I had to hazard a guess I’d say that Kathryn is playing the mother to Jack’s character and they come into contact with Christopher’s character. I don’t think it would be big a stretch to assume a coin is involved.

Being a short film would explain the relatively under-the-radar nature of this film. I understand that IMDb will not take submissions for short films until they are completed, as we found previously with Sunday’s Mother. Also, no details have been found so far on the plans for releasing or screening the film.

Kathryn Slots In The Coin?

After the recent completion of filming on Confections Of A Discarded Women I feared that we would not see or hear from Kathryn again until the movie premièred next year.

That may not be case after all.

In an article just published about the director Fabien Martorell signing on to direct the movie of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Snuff, ComingSoon.net is reporting that the same director is currently filming The Coin with Kathryn.

Martorell, meanwhile, recently wrapped The Guns Story, a documentary about legendary guitarist Tracii Guns (founder of L.A. Guns and Guns N’ Roses), and is currently filming The Coin starring Christopher Lloyd and Kathryn Morris.

Read the article in full HERE (I should warn you that the description of Snuff is a bit NSFW).

Rachel Abrams over at the Variety website is reporting (again, a bit NSFW) the same thing in much the same minimal manner.

More news when we get it.
