Exclusive!
 You have waited long enough. It is time for the big KM UK Exclusive.
Ahead of its public release later this month (more on that when it happens), KM UK can bring you the full version of Sunday’s Mother. Only a select few have so far been able to watch the whole of the 14 minute long short film starring Kathryn, Chase Ellison, Brian Norris and Riley Smith.
In recognition of the support this site and its viewers gave to the project from the fund raising onwards, the writer and director Aaron Jackson has very kindly granted KM UK special permission to show you his work. A very big thank you to Aaron and the production team of Sunday’s Mother for allowing us this access.
To view the film, which is hosted on the Vimeo video sharing site, you will require the password. The password is rogerwaits17
The film can be found on a special KM UK site page HERE. Follow that link and enter the password at the prompt. The film contains some strong language and “adult themes”.
Filmed in the summer of 2011 Sunday’s Mother tells the story of Sunday (Chase) and his mother (Kathryn), a recent divorcee, who have just moved to a new home. A bully (Brian) threatens to expose a secret about Sunday’s mother.
Aaron is currently working on a new project: the film adaptation of the Jessica Brody book The Fidelity Files. Filming is due to start next year. More details can be found on the film’s official website. We wish Aaron all the best for the future.
Update (11 July 2013): The password is no longer required.
Yes, tomorrow (Saturday, 22nd June 2013) sees the world première of Fabien Martorell’s short film The Coin, starring Kathryn, Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future), and Jack Ryan Shepherd.
The 9 minute long work will be débuting at the Palm Springs International ShortFest, a sister event to the International Film Festival held in January each year, in a 1:30pm screening at the Camelot Theatres, Palm Springs. The Coin will be screened as one of a group a shorts under the banner “FantasyLand”. The festival started on Tuesday (18th June 2013) with an opening night of 9 short comedy films from around the world.
Writer/director Fabien and producer/co-star Will Kemp (Mindhunters) are known to be attending the ShortFest. We’ll bring you more news on that if we can later.
We hope it goes well for everyone involved in the project in front of and behind the cameras.
If you are able to attend the event to support Kathryn’s work then please let us know how it went and what you thought of The Coin.
 But with another film.
There is less than a month to go until US DVD release of The Sweeter Side Of Life as we’ve covered previously.
If you are willing to wait another month or so and spend less than US$1 more you will be able to get The Sweeter Side Of Life in a “double feature” DVD set with another Hallmark movie called Meddling Mom. It stars Sonia Braga (Alias) and was first broadcast back in February. The basic plot should be obvious from the title and the picture. All very heart warming no doubt.
In a situation that doesn’t quite make sense to me Meddling Mom is a Hallmark Movie Channel movie whereas The Sweeter Side Of Life is a Hallmark Channel movie, note the lack of “Movie”. The Hallmark Channel shows movies, TV series and other programmes. The Hallmark Movie Channel shows movies, TV series and other programmes. Go figure. Anyway, the two disparate parts of the organisation have managed to find some common ground and put their films together on one DVD.
The lack of data space available for films in the single disc format would suggest a the discarding of any extras and a likely drop in picture quality. Released on August 27th you can pre-order your copy now from the American branch of the Amazon store. Details HERE.
A hi-res version of the “3D” box art image has now been added to the Gallery.
Fabien Martorell has sent a Tweet, following a Facebook page post, that his short film The Coin will première at the Palm Springs International ShortFest on Saturday the 22nd of June. It will be at a 1:30pm screening at the Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs.
The short film, which stars Kathryn Morris and Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future), was filmed last summer and revolves around a young boy meeting a homeless man at a shop. Kathryn plays the boy’s very stressed mother.
The official programme for the event is not due to be released until tomorrow (9th June 2013) but Fabien has clearly been given the information ahead of time.
We wish everyone involved in the production all the best with the event.
You can read more about the ShortFest at the event’s website.
Update (9 June 2013): The official programmes have been released by the ShortFest organisers. The Coin will be screened alongside 8 other short films in a package called FantasyLand. The group is comprised of films from all over the world including France, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. As The Coin shows, these short productions can include some internationally famous actors. An entry in FantasyLand from England, called Dust, stars Alan Rickman (Die Hard) and Jodie Whittaker (Attack The Block). Fellow Brit actors Ian McKellen (X-Men), Brenda Blethyn (Little Voice) and Christopher Eccleston (Dr Who), and singer and The Voice UK coach Tom Jones also have roles in other films across the festival.
Update (10 June 2013): The Palm Springs International ShortFest official press release announcing the 2013 line-up has been published. You can read it here. The world premiere of The Coin and Christopher Lloyd starring in it are mentioned, Kathryn is not name-checked but it’s an incredibly lengthy and impressive list of actors from all over the world so we’ll forgive the oversight on this occasion 
 The special features video for The Sweeter Side Of Life that KM UK first reported on 3 weeks ago has turned up on the Hallmark Channel’s own website.
They’ve labelled it “Behind the scenes” and “On location with The Sweeter Side” but it is exactly the same video we first saw in mid-May. We’d assumed it was the basis of the special features for the DVD release, and perhaps it still will be, but it was clearly done with the intention of posting it on the web first.
Anyway, if you haven’t been able to see it already after it was removed from YouTube you now have a good opportunity to do so. You can find it, surprise surprise, in the “Video” section of the Hallmark Channel’s TSSOL sub-site.
The film continues to receive ocassional airings on the Hallmark Channel. The next is due on the 21st of July, just days after the DVD release.
