This is KM UK’s 100th item about Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin aka You Can’t Keep A Good Short Down.
Nearly four years on from our first post about the film (in July 2012) it is returning to the short film festival circuit for an outing in 2016.
The Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival is due to have its third running in a month’s time on Sunday the 24th of April.
Based in Asbury Park, New Jersey (south of New York and east of Philadelphia), the festival was started to bring a bit of the creative arts back to the area that was devastated by hurricane Sandy in 2011.
Running from around 10am to a little after 6pm the event is split into 4 or 5 screenings across three venues. Each screening has multiple films in 90-120 minutes. There is some attempt at grouping films into themes but the The Coin being in the ‘Last Set’, due to it being the final group of the day at The Showroom Cinema on Cookman Avenue, gives you some idea of the way things are. There is no repetition of films so even if you did travel to different theatres between screenings you could not see everything.
As you should know by now Kathryn stars in the 9 minute long The Coin as a stressed mother who takes her son to a shop where he meets a kindly homeless man played by Christopher Lloyd.
The Hang Onto Your Shorts Film Festival website has all the details here.
Thanks to Fabien for letting us know about this one.
