 This weekend (11-12th Oct) The Coin gets two screenings on the west coast of the United States. See here for more details on that. Now we’ve found out that the short film will be heading about as far east as it can whilst staying within the US, sort of.
 Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, is an “unincorporated territory” of the United States, one of a dozen or so islands in the Pacific and the Caribbean that are designated that way. These territories are controlled by the US government but are independent from certain constitutional elements.
In November the Enfoque International Film Festival will be taking place at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Arts Museum) in the San Juan region situated in the north east corner of the island. The Enfoque (Spanish for “approach”) festival was first held 5 years ago.
The exact schedule has not been released yet but The Coin is one of 45 films to be shown in the 3 day event running across Thursday the 13th to Saturday the 15th of November. The festival’s website is here.
Thanks to Fabien Martorell for letting us know about this.
The photo above shows part of the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a 16th century citadel on the the northern tip of the San Juan coast line. It has been a World Heritage Site for a couple decades and attracts millions of visitors per year.
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.
 It looks like the two film festivals happening in neighbouring areas of Los Angeles on the same long weekend have had a quick chat and arranged not to wear the same outfits. Awkwardness avoided! 
The Sunday before last we were able to note the screening time of the short film The Coin at the San Pedro International Film Festival (SPIFF), in Los Angeles. That happens on Sunday the 12th.
The Sunscreen Film Festival (SFF), which takes place over the same three days in South Bay, just a few miles to the north-west of San Pedro, announced its schedule last week.
Either by luck or judgement the SFF will be screening The Coin on Saturday the 11th, in a narrative shorts block of 9 films under the collective banner ‘Families These Days’. The event starts at 12:15pm at the Hermosa Beach Community Theater, 710 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, California. Tickets are around $9 each. They, and more details, can be found (eventually) on the official website here.
One of the other films on the bill with The Coin is called The Story Of Milo & Annie. Among the cast is Cathy Moriarty, probably best known for her role as the Cruella De Vil-style character in Casper.
 I’m not sure I can stretch the weather references in the subject lines much further, so it is for the best that this is likely to be the last post on the subject
A quick reminder: This coming Sunday (5th of October) at 3pm the Pioneer Place Theatre in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, is the venue of a screening of The Coin as part of the St. Cloud Film Fest.
The festival starts tomorrow (2nd Oct) and runs until next Tuesday. See the event’s website here for more details.
If you’re in the area on the day and get a chance to attend the showing of the short films collection then please come back and let us know.
It is being reported that Kathryn has been added to the cast of a film called Bone Tomahawk.
She joins Kurt Russell (Stargate), Matthew Fox (Lost), Patrick Wilson (A Gifted Man), Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under), and the also just joined Lili Simmons (Banshee) and David Arquette (Scream).
Kathryn is to play the wife of Kurt Russell’s Sheriff Hunt.
The briefest of synopsis of this mid-1800s set Western is “Four men set out in the Wild West to rescue a group of captives from cannibalistic cave dwellers.”
Filming is believed to have started yesterday (29th Sept) and will continue into October, with southern California standing in for the area that is now the Texas/Mexico border. The film has been written by and is to be directed by novelist S. Craig Zahler.
