 Writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell is ramping up the promotion of his The Coin follow-up short film Unbelief.
After more than a year of The Coin appearing at film festivals around the world you could understand that it will be put to one side in favour of the new boy. However, that is proving not to be the case.
Fabien has let it be known that The Coin and Unbelief have both been selected for screening at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival in April. A bit of a sort of homecoming for Kathryn as she attended college and university in the state and, of course, Cold Case was set there.
Unbelief stars Andrew Howard (Limitless) and Tobin Bell (Saw I/II/III/IV/V/VI/VIII (he missed one!)). Two men meet in a park on Xmas Eve. One of them is an assassin. I doubt they’re exchanging gifts and sharing eggnog.
At time of posting the PIFF screening schedule has not been announced, probably because the organisers only stopped accepting submissions in the past week. The festival runs from the 17th to the 25th of April. I’ll update you when I can.
Information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.
 It may be called the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ but their schedule for the festival is anything but.
The ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ is a single venue event running over 3 days with the most detailed plan of events I’ve seen of any of the dozens I’ve looked at the past few years.
The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell and starring Christopher Lloyd (Taxi) and Kathryn, will be screened during the festival in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday the 11th of April. The venue is the Alex Theater, The Metropolitan At The 9 complex.
What normally happens at these short film festivals is for the individual movies to be grouped together, often around a common theme, to make a longer single screening. The exact timing of a particular item, or even the order, is thus rendered an unnecessary detail.
Not for the short ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest.’ it isn’t.
Earlier this month the organisers released the official poster (see above right) and the schedule for the long weekend’s activities. It’s done to the minute for the every showing.
So, The Coin slots (see what I did there? never mind) in at 4:30pm, just after a ‘presentation’ by a local brewery.
Tickets and more details are available via the official website HERE.
 The promised ‘two weeks from this coming Friday’ is nearly here.
The Mankato, Minnesota, based Speechless Film Festival, starts this in a few days.
The short film The Coin. which sees Kathryn star alongside Back To The Future actor Christopher Lloyd as the stressed mother of a young boy, will be screened at the Cine Grand venue on Friday at 7pm.
Buy the VIP Festival Pass and you could attend a special second presentation of the film on Saturday lunchtime, 1pm.
As part of the “Young Drama” selection, Fabien Martorell’s short will be sharing the bill with four other projects, mostly from the USA as well.
The SFF official website HERE has all the details.
 Normally with these little visits to past public appearances I generally try and make them seasonally relevant. The recent awards event photos posted within a few days of the most recent ceremonies. That kind of thing.
This update, however, has been triggered by the unearthing of a video in which Kathryn features. But that doesn’t mean we can’t also make it topical.
I’ll explain.
Moves are afoot to make a TV series based on the Tom Cruise-starring, Steven Spielberg-directed movie Minority Report. Kathryn, of course, had a small but crucial role as the estranged ex-wife of Tom Cruise’s crime preventer Chief John Anderton.
In the past few weeks there has been news about the casting of the Fox-ordered pilot due to be set 10 years after the film. Start Sands (Generation Kill), Meagan Good (Cold Case episode ‘Soul’) will play the leads as both twin male Pre-cogs (they can see the future) and a Precrime officer respectively. Wilmer Valderrama (That ’70s Show) has recently been added to the cast as another police officer.
Links to the film are kept with Laura Regan (Mad Men) taking the Pre-cogs Agatha role as portrayed by Samantha Morton originally, and Daniel London actually reprising his part as Wally the caretaker.
Wouldn’t it be great if Kathryn’s Lara Clarke could also appear at some point as a way of linking back to John’s time in the Precrime unit and the events of the hit movie? Make it happen Hollywood!
Having not been included in the KM UK Gallery previously I have now added an album of various photos of Kathryn doing the red carpet walk in New York for the première of Minority Report. And, the video that triggered this post has also been added alongside the snapshots. Kathryn appears very briefly in middle of the clip answering a question about fate.
  
Two weeks from this coming Friday sees the start of the Speechless Film Festival, held in Mankato, Minnesota.
The screening schedule for the event has been released so we get to see when we can get to see Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin.
7pm on the 20th at the Cine Grand is the first opportunity. For those with VIP Festival Passes, which entitle you see everything as well as getting access to some VIP lounges, there is a 2nd screening at Studio Six on the Saturday afternoon at 1pm.
The Coin will be one of a five films grouped under the banner “Young Drama”. The others in the set are also American, apart from one British interloper. Elsewhere the festival has a more international feel with films from Canada, Turkey, Israel, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Iran, Poland, and Romania and Bulgaria.
As well as the more basic genre descriptions (documentary, thriller, animation etc.) the various categories of film include titles such as “The Gauntlet“, “Solitare”, “Tales Of Passion” and “Visual Music”.
Tickets and information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.
