Two out of two. A good weekend’s work for The Coin. After success on Saturday at the Sunscreen Film Festival the roll continued as The Coin took another prize on Sunday (12th Oct). The Coin won another Best Short Film award, this time at the San Pedro International Film Festival. Congratulations again to all involved in the project. How many more festivals will it be screened at and how many more trophies can it win?
One down. One to go. Yesterday (11th Oct) the short film The Coin was screened at the Sunscreen Film Festival (West) in South Bay, California. There is good news from the event. As you can see from the photo on the right Fabien Martorell is holding some silverware, albeit some non-silver silverware. The good news is that that non-silver silverware represents gold. The Coin won Best Short Film. Congratulations to all the cast and crew on the continued success of the film at similar future events, both known and unknown. Today the short is being screened at the neighbouring San Pedro International Film Festival. Can it make it a double win?
In November the Enfoque International Film Festival will be taking place at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Arts Museum) in the San Juan region situated in the north east corner of the island. The Enfoque (Spanish for “approach”) festival was first held 5 years ago. The exact schedule has not been released yet but The Coin is one of 45 films to be shown in the 3 day event running across Thursday the 13th to Saturday the 15th of November. The festival’s website is here. Thanks to Fabien Martorell for letting us know about this. The photo above shows part of the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a 16th century citadel on the the northern tip of the San Juan coast line. It has been a World Heritage Site for a couple decades and attracts millions of visitors per year.
The Sunday before last we were able to note the screening time of the short film The Coin at the San Pedro International Film Festival (SPIFF), in Los Angeles. That happens on Sunday the 12th. The Sunscreen Film Festival (SFF), which takes place over the same three days in South Bay, just a few miles to the north-west of San Pedro, announced its schedule last week. Either by luck or judgement the SFF will be screening The Coin on Saturday the 11th, in a narrative shorts block of 9 films under the collective banner ‘Families These Days’. The event starts at 12:15pm at the Hermosa Beach Community Theater, 710 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, California. Tickets are around $9 each. They, and more details, can be found (eventually) on the official website here. One of the other films on the bill with The Coin is called The Story Of Milo & Annie. Among the cast is Cathy Moriarty, probably best known for her role as the Cruella De Vil-style character in Casper. It is being reported that Kathryn has been added to the cast of a film called Bone Tomahawk. She joins Kurt Russell (Stargate), Matthew Fox (Lost), Patrick Wilson (A Gifted Man), Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under), and the also just joined Lili Simmons (Banshee) and David Arquette (Scream). Kathryn is to play the wife of Kurt Russell’s Sheriff Hunt. The briefest of synopsis of this mid-1800s set Western is “Four men set out in the Wild West to rescue a group of captives from cannibalistic cave dwellers.” Filming is believed to have started yesterday (29th Sept) and will continue into October, with southern California standing in for the area that is now the Texas/Mexico border. The film has been written by and is to be directed by novelist S. Craig Zahler. Read the story here at Variety. We’ll bring you more when we can. |

Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, is an “unincorporated territory” of the United States, one of a dozen or so islands in the Pacific and the Caribbean that are designated that way. These territories are controlled by the US government but are independent from certain constitutional elements.
It looks like the two film festivals happening in neighbouring areas of Los Angeles on the same long weekend have had a quick chat and arranged not to wear the same outfits. Awkwardness avoided!
