 The new movie Hayseed was shown at the mainly horror-based Another Hole In The Head film festival back in December 2022.
A few weeks ago the festival announced their award winners for the year. Some how the organisers manager to narrow things down and award over 50 entrants with their honours. My understanding is that there were more than 200 films, both short and feature length, showcased at the event.
Hayseed was the winning nominee in the Best Mystery/Noir Feature category.
For more information on the new independent crime thriller/mystery/comedy in which Kathryn has a small role, see the previous KM UK post about it HERE.
We look forward to hearing more about this film in the coming months.
For more details on the AHITH festival see their website HERE.
 …but it is going there.
In what can only be described as distant forward planning, the movie Hayseed has been added to the official selection for the 2023 Dumbo Film Festival. They have been able to give us a better view of Kathryn in her role as Joyce Metts in the film as you can see above.
 Now, “wait a minute”, you might say, “it’s only two weeks until 2023 starts so how is that ‘distant forward planning’.” Yes, but the Dumbo Film Festival happens in October.
I should also add that the Dumbo Film Festival does not solely comprise of repeated showings of the Disney classic about a baby elephant. They are showing Hayseed after all. No, this Dumbo is the neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York. Apparently it is called Dumbo because it is Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
The Dumbo Film Festival takes place from the 19th to the 22nd of October 2023. Hayseed is one of 25 films, a mix of short and feature length, announced as selected for the event. Hopefully we’ll be able to provide more details on screening times and locations later.

 A missed opportunity.
In my checking details of for the previous post about Hayseed being part of the AHITH later this month, I stumbled across a bit of interesting news.
Apparently, Hayseed was screened during the Derby Film Festival back in mid-November. Not only that but the director Travis Burgess was present and took part in a Q&A session. It is possible that this was in effect the première festival showing by the film.
For our international readers, Derby is a city in the centre of England, best known for the home of Rolls Royce jet engines and a lot of train engineering works.
If only I had known this was happening before hand I would have made the effort to try and attend the event. That would have been a first for this website.
The festival’s website has the following description of the film:
A dark comedy murder-mystery set in a small American Midwest town, where detective Leo Hobbins (Bill Sage) is left to investigate a murder, when the local reverend is found dead in the baptismal font leaving Hobbins to depend on the band of offbeat residents in the town including the local gossip Joyce (Kathryn Morris, Cold Case)and the gullible Duck (Jack Falahee, How To get Away With Murder) to assist with the investigation.
 In a couple of weeks time, the new movie Hayseed will be getting an airing courtesy of the 2022 Another Hole In The Head film festival.
For those that need a catch-up (this site certainly does!), Hayseed is a new independent crime thriller/mystery/comedy in which Kathryn has a small role. See the previous KM UK post about it HERE.
The San Francisco-based AHITH festival is primarily horror-focused but they do venture in to sci-fi and other genres as they see fit.
Hayseed has been added to the official selection for the 2022 running of the event. However, as far as I can tell the film is not being screened in a theatre setting, but rather only via an online stream. This appears to be limited to members and is also geo-locked to the California area and will be available over the 3 days from the 16th-18th December 2022.
For more details on the AHITH festival see their website HERE.
If you are able to view the film, please do report back to us.
The poster you see to the right (large version in the Gallery) gives us a glimpse of Kathryn in character.
 A new poster for the upcoming film Hayseed has been published.
Kathryn gets the ‘and’ credit.
This is often given to a star name that has a small role. Many a Hollywood contract has hinged on who gets the ‘with’ and ‘and’ against their names in the credits, and where it features on the poster. I’m sure that’s not the case here though.
Hayseed is said to be in post-production, with filming recently completed.
