It’s a big weekend for a short film.
A quick reminder for those in the Los Angeles area in the coming days. The 9 minute epic The Coin will be screened at two different film festivals less than 12 miles and 25 hours of each other.
On Saturday (11th Oct) the Sunscreen Film Festival (West) takes place in South Bay, California. The Coin and 8 other short films will be shown at the Hermosa Beach Community Theater, 710 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, from 12:15pm in a group interestingly labelled: ‘Families These Days’. Full details on the SFF website here.
The very next day the more confidently named San Pedro International Film Festival will be screening The Coin in the less imaginatively titled ‘Short Takes 3’, which is made up of 7 films. The event is taking place at the Grand Annex, 434 West 6th Street, San Pedro, from 1 o’clock. See the SPIFF website here.
As you all know The Coin stars Kathryn as a stressed mother to a young son. Christopher Lloyd of Back To The Future fame plays a homeless man who talks to the boy when he needs a friend. French-born, LA-domiciled Fabien Martorell directed, co-wrote and co-produced the short.
