 The ‘tavern’ being the Brightside Tavern, host to The Brightside Tavern Film Festival.
The ‘noms’ are the four nominations that the short film The Coin has received at the BTFF event due to take place in mid-August in Jersey City. The categories are:
- Best Short Film – Drama
- Best Director – Drama
- Best Cinematography
- Best Concept
As well as the great news the film is up for more awards we now have more details on the screening itself, after first bringing you news of the event a couple of weeks ago.
Writer/producer/director Fabien Martorell’s 9 minute long movie starring Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) and Kathryn will be shown on the 16th of August, a Sunday, as part of a group of films starting at 5:05pm. The screening is described as ‘Downstairs 4’, presumably because it is the fourth taking place in a basement area.
More details and a link to the ticket sales are on the BTFF website.
 Kapow!
Just when you thought… (this is sounding familiar)… it was safe… (oh no, it’s totally different)… to assume that The Coin has got no more film festivals to visit, up pops another one.
With a poster reminiscent of the one for a certain drama film that aired in the UK recently… hint, hint… the HollyShorts Film Festival is having it’s 11th running, across 10 days, in 9 (+13) days time. Don’t you just ‘ate it when that happens? 
Given its name it will come as no surprise that the event takes place in Hollywood, the ‘TCL Chinese Theatres 6’ to be precise.
As seems to be the norm when we first report these things, no schedule has been released as of yet so we’ll return to this event when we can bring you more detail. Tickets are becoming available on the official HollyShorts Film Festival website covering individual days and all-access passes.
Also as per usual we have to thank The Coin‘s writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell for letting us know about another screening of his film. Fingers crossed for a prize or two.
 We do things a little differently in Britain. We drive on the correct side of the road (as do a few select countries), we use a sensible date format (to be honest most countries do that except for one notable exception) and we use our own age rating system for films.
The age rating actually means the minimum age that a person has to be to be allowed into a cinema to watch it… a part from the 12A, which is more of a recommendation and requires an accompanying adult (hence the ‘A’).
A couple of weeks ago the thriller The Perfect Guy got its rating from the US board responsible for such things. Yesterday the Brits stepped up and gave their verdict on the film.
The BBFC (the British Board Of Film Classification) passed The Perfect Guy with no cuts required and it received the (sort of) predicted 15 rating. No specifics for the decision have been released yet. The more general description is:
- strong violence, sex, threat
Just prior to the November launch date the BBFC will likely give a detailed description of areas of the film worthy of note. They are very proactive at giving film going parents all the information they need to decide for themselves what their child can watch. Of course, with the UK getting quite a late release date compared to other parts of the world we’ll likely know a lot about the film by then.
* Steady on old bean, we don’t want to give the gentleman ideas above his station 😉
 To paraphrase: Just when you thought you’d got out, they pull you back in!
Short film The Coin continues in it slow march to world domination of film festivals. The next target is a Jersey City at The Brightside Tavern Film Festival.
For those of a geographical bent: if the Statue Of Liberty was to look back over her left shoulder she’d be glancing in the general direction of The Brightside Tavern.
The event takes place over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August so just five weeks to go from today (11th July).
The organisers have plenty of awards to be given for the many films to be screened so fingers crossed for Fabien Martorell’s 9 minute piece. Thanks to him for letting us know, as usual.
If you can attend the BTFF the please let us know about your experience.
The BTFF website has/will have more details.
But he’s perfect isn’t he? Surely that makes rating him redundant?
The poster for not-long-now-until-release thriller The Perfect Guy was missing a key thing. No, I don’t mean modesty or under-wiring. I’m referring to the age rating.
The official body, the MPAA (Motion Picture Association Of America), in the USA that issues the classification and gives a brief explanation as to the reason has delivered its verdict on the film.
The pronouncement is thus:
- Rated PG-13 for violence, menace, sexuality and brief strong language.
I’m guessing that Kathryn’s small role is unlikely to be a key factor in any of those elements. Though of course with her one of them is always present 😉
Quite how the PG-13 will translate to other territories is difficult to say. In the UK it would probably be closest to a 12 but could be pushed in to the 15 level depending on how the examiners see particular aspects. As of yet there is no sign of the film being classified by the UK’s BBFC organisation.
The Perfect Guy is due for release in America on the 9th of September.
