I’ve just discovered that the award winning short film The Coin will be getting another screening.

It’s short notice though and for members-only.

The Orange County Film Society is holding a Shorts Showcase event tomorrow (that’s 24th September).

Kick-off is 7:30pm at the Regency Lido Theatre in Newport Beach, California.

It looks like there will be 7 short films shown and there will be a Q&A with some of the creatives afterwards. Director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell and producer/actor Will Kemp are due to attend.

This weekend sees short film The Coin getting another screening. This time it is Big Bear Lake International Film Festival as we reported back in early August.

Since that last post the BBLIFF (!) has released a full programme of events and screenings. The Coin will be shown as part of the “Shorts Program 10” at the Village Theatres North venue on Saturday (21st September) at 4pm local time. The bill includes 6 other short films.

The Coin is a short film starring Kathryn Morris and Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future). It was filmed last summer and is about a young boy meeting a homeless man at a shop. Kathryn plays the boy’s very stressed mother.

Sunday’s Coming Up Short(s)

Or should that be “upcoming shorts”?

This Sunday (8th September 2013) sees the short film The Coin screened at Los Angeles International Short Film Festival (aka the LA Shorts Fest for… short).

Fabien Martorell’s film is one of seven films in the enigmatically/practically named ‘Program 16’ screening starting on Sunday afternoon at 3:15. It shares that bill with three dramas and a comedy from the USA, and a comedy and a drama from Germany. Some of the many other films to be shown at the festival are grouped under titles such as “Horror Program” and “Song & Dance Program”. Clearly the septet that includes The Coin defy such easy labelling

The Coin; starring Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future), Kathryn, Will Kemp (Mindhunters) and Jack Ryan Shepherd; premièred at the Palm Springs International ShortFest back in June. Towards the end of this month it will appearing in the line-up of the Big Bear Lake International Film Festival.

The 9 minute long film revolves around the young son (Shepherd) of a stressed mother (Morris) and his encounter with a homeless man (Lloyd) outside a small convenience store. It was shot over a 4 day period in July of 2012.

Check out the film’s trailer and a collection of on set photos (such as the one on the right) in the Gallery.

More details about LA Shorts Fest and all the films being shown are available at the official website.
