Be Aware Of Greeks Following Protocol

on_set_012Not entirely sure what the protocol is here…  :-)

Actress Xen Sia (above right with Kathryn) is the October cover star of the monthly New York-based NEO Magazine, which focuses on American Greeks.  Xen appeared on KM UK’s  radar earlier this year when she starred in, what we believed at the time, was a short film called The Protocol by Johnny Messner’s “Johnny Be Goode” production company.

The exact nature of the film (plot etc.) is not known to us but we are aware that Kathryn had a role, along with Max Ryan (Death Race),  Joel Cavness, Will Crown and, of course, Xen Sia (Casino Jack).  Filming took place over a few days in the middle of July.  Since then we’ve not heard anything on the project.  Until now.

Xen Sia has been interviewed for NEO Magazine and it gives us a very different take on the production, and a nice comment about Kathryn:

Her savvy, go-getter attitude is what landed Sia a starring role as Agent Amanda Chase in “The Protocol”, a cutting edge television series/episodic produced by Brad Feinstein. Also featuring Kathryn Morris (“Cold Case” and “Minority Report”), Max Ryan (“Death Race”) and Johnny Messner (“Tears of the Sun”), the series is currently in the midst of a bidding war between several networks. One highlight from the production experience for Sia, was getting to know and learn from her colleague, Morris.

“She really took me under her wing, and was so nurturing and motherly,” Sia said of the well-respected actress.

So, The Protocol could become much more than we thought.  If it were to become a TV series it does not necessarily mean that Kathryn would be starring in it.

You can read the full article by Eleni Kostopoulos HERE on the NEO Magazine website.

We will update you with further news on The Protocol when we can.  Doing so before then would be difficult :-)

The Coin Is Underexposed?

I thought our short film director (as in he directs short films, not the other thing) du jour had jumped the official gun again in announcing this today (or yesterday due to the time difference to LA).  Turns out he didn’t, I just expected this to be officially announced in a few days.

The powerful and award winning short film The Coin will be getting another outing.  This time it is at the Underexposed Film Festival in York County.  A quick check on Wikipedia reveals nine York Counties, six of them in the USA, so we’ll need to narrow it down further.  This is YC in SC, or the eastern state of South Carolina.

This is the second year of the film festival, organised by the Arts Council of York County, and runs from the 14-16th of November (Thursday-Saturday).  The venue is the Community Performance Center on East Main St. in the county’s captial of Rock Hill.

The Coin is part of the festival’s “Directors Choice” section.  The 8 minute long short being specifically one of 13 films in the set labelled “Narrative”.  No word yet on the exact screening schedule.  We’ll update you when we can.

More details about the Underexposed Film Festival can be found on their website HERE.

I’ve just discovered that the award winning short film The Coin will be getting another screening.

It’s short notice though and for members-only.

The Orange County Film Society is holding a Shorts Showcase event tomorrow (that’s 24th September).

Kick-off is 7:30pm at the Regency Lido Theatre in Newport Beach, California.

It looks like there will be 7 short films shown and there will be a Q&A with some of the creatives afterwards.  Director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell and producer/actor Will Kemp are due to attend.

The OC Film Society’s Facebook page is HERE.

This weekend sees short film The Coin getting another screening.  This time it is Big Bear Lake International Film Festival as we reported back in early August.

Since that last post the BBLIFF (!) has released a full programme of events and screenings.  The Coin will be shown as part of the “Shorts Program 10” at the Village Theatres North venue on Saturday (21st September) at 4pm local time.  The bill includes 6 other short films.

The Coin is a short film starring Kathryn Morris and Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future). It was filmed last summer and is about a young boy meeting a homeless man at a shop. Kathryn plays the boy’s very stressed mother.
