2 Br/1 Ba To Be Released In Late 2014

on_set_20120927_009It’s been quite a long time since we last had any news about this project.

Filmed towards the end of 2012 2 Br/1 Ba (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, the description of a dwelling) has been looking for distribution ever since.  The last item KM UK published on this on the discovering of a couple of teaser trailers back in October 2013.

In the past 24 hours news has broken that the film, starring Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) and Spencer Grammer (Greek), has been picked up by Lionsgate and Grindstone Entertainment for distribution later this year in the domestic (i.e. the USA) market.  No word so far on other territories.

2 Br/1 Ba is a drama about two roommates (Alexa as Janie and Spencer as Dee) who one day have a very destructive disagreement.  Kathryn has a supporting role as Olivia Morgan, exact details of her relationship with the two co-habitees is not know.

Congrats to all involved.  We look forward to finally seeing the film and KM UK will certainly bring you more news as and when we can.

The Coin’s Scarborough Fare

scarborough_film_festival_935x362As reported late last week the Fabien Martorell short film The Coin will be screened at the Ontario, Canada-based Scarborough Film Festival in a couple of weeks time.

The line-up was announced then but the screenshot_001event timings were not.  The full schedule has now been released so here’s the important bit for any of our readers that can attend.

The Coin will be shown at a screening that starts at 7pm, Saturday, 7th June at the Fox Theatre on Queen Street East, Ontario.

Unlike other festivals that group short films like The Coin together to make a longer presentation, the SFF is pairing shorts with feature length films.  The Coin finds itself following a film called Macondo, a German film by writer/director Sudabeh Mortezai.

The official website HERE has everything you could possibly need to know about attending this, the 2nd running of Scarborough Film Festival.

The Coin Heads North Of The Border

scarborough_film_festival_935x362Another day, another film festival for The Coin.

poster_002The banner above may give you a false impression of where this one happens.  It ain’t in the ‘God’s own country’ North Yorkshire sea side town.  More’s the pity.

No, this time those in the other half of North America get a look in.  On the shore of Lake Ontario, Canada, this Scarborough is the one that’s a district of Toronto.

In early June the Scarborough Film Festival happens for only the 2nd time in its history.  At some point in the 6 day event the short film The Coin is due to receive a screening.  We’ll find out more details next week when schedules are released.

For more details on the film festival check out the official website HERE.

Thanks to writer/producer/director Fabien Martorell for letting us know The Coin was one of the officially selected films.  Let’s hope some of the cast and/or crew take the opportunity to attend.

Insert normal ‘if you go, let us know’ final paragraph here.

The Coin @ Champs-Élysées Film Festival – But When?

poster_001The organisers of the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris have released the schedule for the upcoming 2014 event.

champs_elysees_film_festival_1447x2048Starting on the 11th June 2014 (a Wednesday) it runs for 7 days across 7 venues along, not surprisingly, the Avenue des Champs-Elysees between the world famous Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde square which contains the Luxor Obelisk.

The short film The Coin will be shown at the festival as part of a collection under the banner Courts Métrages Américains (Hors écoles), which translates as ‘American Short Films (excluding schools)’.  I presume that submissions by students are dealt with separately.

Lucky for some the screening takes place on Friday the 13th of June at the MK2 Grand Palais, which is near the Place de la Concorde end of the avenue.

The Coin, co-starring Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) and by writer/director/produer Fabien Martorell, shares the bill with 5 other short films in a screening starting 8:45pm.

It appears that the screening is a one off, with no repeat viewings on the schedule.

You can find all the details on the festival website HERE (so far it is only in French, an English version is promised in a couple of weeks).

The Coin Gets The Love In The City Of Love

poster_001It’s turning in to a busy week here on KMUK!

Despite being around for nearly two years we continue to hear about the march of The Coin in film festivals around the world.

champs_elysees_film_festival_1447x2048The short film’s director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell has again let it be known that his short film will be heading back to his homeland of France.  This time it is for the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris.  The Coin is one of the official selections of the festival.

As the lady in the colourful poster on the right tells us the festival runs from the 11th to the 17th of June this year.  The exact where-and-when of how The Coin will feature in the programme has not been announced yet.  The schedule is due to be released in a couple of weeks time.  I will post an update when the news breaks.

You can check all the details on the official Champs-Élysées Film Festival website HERE.  A version for us lazy English-only speakers is due to be available later in May.

As I normally say, if you get a chance to attend a festival screening The Coin then please do let us know how what the experience was like.  We’d love to hear all about it.
