The Coin Looks On The Brightside

brightside_tavern_film_fest_logo_310x260To 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.

The Perfect Guy Gets Rated

poster_005But 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.

THE Perfect Guy Poster – Update

poster_005After a few teaser posters were released recently we now have something that appears to be a proper movie poster for the film The Perfect Guy.  You can tell because it’s got all that small text at the bottom with no punctuation so you can’t separate one name from another.

As you can see, it depicts Sanaa Lathan (Nip/Tuck), two unnamed bald gentlemen, Michael Ealy (Almost Human) and Morris Chestnut (Nurse Jackie).  Presumably one of them is ‘perfect’.

Which do you favour: Mr Leftie or Mr Rightie?

Importantly for us Kathryn fans, our favourite lady gets a look in.  If you can drag your eyes south you’ll see this:

poster_005There she is, sandwiched between Tess Harper (maybe from No Country For Old Men, she uncredited on TPG so far) and Rutina Wesley (True Blood).

The Perfect Guy is due for release in the US on the 9th of September, and much of the rest of the world in the following days and weeks.  In the UK we’re made to wait until November.

A copy of the poster is now in the KM UK Gallery HERE.

Update (2 July 2015):  I’ve found a much larger version of the poster which has replaced the original in the Gallery.

The Coin’s Hyart Film Fest Timing

hyart_film_festival_logo_2048x2011Since my post on Monday information on the schedule of screenings at the the Hyart Film Festival have been released.

There isn’t a great deal of detail but there is probably everything you need to know at such an event.

The opening night is next Thursday (18th May) and it looks like it is ‘sci-fi night’, possibly ‘spoof sci-fi night’.  RZ-9 might be a serious feature length movie.  Israeli short film Schnitzel, tagline ‘A boy, a girl, a space-alien and fried chicken’, definitely isn’t.  Phoenix could go either way.  Doors open at 7pm.

Friday night is shorts night.  I said ‘shorts’ not ‘shots’ 😉  Starting at 7pm the evening is made up of nine short films from around the world.  Not surprisingly this is where The Coin features.

And on Saturday is another multi-film collection, this time eight, which includes a world premiere of a French short called Rêve de fer (aka Iron Dream).  Set in 1794, a writer believes he’s found something very important about the country’s ongoing revolution.  It’s in the synopsis on IMDb so I won’t be spoiling to say “he’s wrong.”  You guessed it: 7pm.

The Coin @ The Hyart Film Festival

hyart_film_festival_logo_2048x2011You would think it was spent (geddit?) by now but The Coin continues its attempt to break the world record for the greatest number of film festival appearances :-)

As has become the usual for Fabien Martorell has let us know that his short film, starring Christopher Lloyd (Roger Rabbit) and Kathryn, will be screened at another festival.

This time it is the Hyart Film Festival in Lovell, Wyoming USA.  The event’s name comes from the theater used to host it.  The building has a very distinctive turquoise frontage and a large sign as seen in the festival’s logo (see pic on the left).

Wyomingites don’t have to wait very long because the film festival starts Thursday-week, the 18th of June, and runs for three days.

As of going to press the screening schedule has not been published.  I’ll let you know when we have more news.
