Kathryn Morris UK

Writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell is ramping up the promotion of his The Coin follow-up short film Unbelief.

After more than a year of The Coin appearing at film festivals around the world you could understand that it will be put to one side in favour of the new boy.  However, that is proving not to be the case.

Fabien has let it be known that The Coin and Unbelief have both been selected for screening at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival in April.  A bit of a sort of homecoming for Kathryn as she attended college and university in the state and, of course, Cold Case was set there.

Unbelief stars Andrew Howard (Limitless) and Tobin Bell (Saw I/II/III/IV/V/VI/VIII (he missed one!)).  Two men meet in a park on Xmas Eve.  One of them is an assassin.  I doubt they’re exchanging gifts and sharing eggnog.

At time of posting the PIFF screening schedule has not been announced, probably because the organisers only stopped accepting submissions in the past week.  The festival runs from the 17th to the 25th of April.  I’ll update you when I can.

Information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.

It may be called the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ but their schedule for the festival is anything but.

The ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ is a single venue event running over 3 days with the most detailed plan of events I’ve seen of any of the dozens I’ve looked at the past few years.

The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell and starring Christopher Lloyd (Taxi) and Kathryn, will be screened during the festival in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday the 11th of April.  The venue is the Alex Theater, The Metropolitan At The 9 complex.

What normally happens at these short film festivals is for the individual movies to be grouped together, often around a common theme, to make a longer single screening.  The exact timing of a particular item, or even the order, is thus rendered an unnecessary detail.

Not for the short ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest.’ it isn’t.

Earlier this month the organisers released the official poster (see above right) and the schedule for the long weekend’s activities.  It’s done to the minute for the every showing.

So, The Coin slots (see what I did there? never mind) in at 4:30pm, just after a ‘presentation’ by a local brewery.

Tickets and more details are available via the official website HERE.
