The Coin At The San Antonio Film Festival

san_antonio_film_festival_430x140I don’t know exactly when this was happened, as there has been no fanfare about it yet, but the San Antonio Film Festival schedule has been released.

screenshot_001And what does this schedule tell us?  It tells us what is happening and when.  That’s what schedules are for after all.  Was it really that difficult a question? :-)

Of particular interest to us of course is what the timetable says about when The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell that stars Kathryn and Christopher Lloyd, gets a screening in Texas.  Two weeks ago we found out that the film was an official selection of the festival.

The Coin will be part of a set of 5 films to shown at the City Base Cinema, Military Drive, San Antonio, starting at 8pm on the 2nd of August.  That’s a Saturday.

Tickets are available via the festival’s official website HERE and are $15 each, not including a $1.82 “Fee”.

What We Angels Know

poster_001In Thursday’s piece about seeing The Coin at the Champs-Élysée Film Festival by reader Diane you will have noticed reference to a future project by director Fabien Martorell called What No Angels Know.

The news that Diane broke here on KM UK is that a feature length film based on the short is in the works.  One of the writers involved was present at the Paris-based event and confirmed the plan for a 2015 release.  Diane followed-up by questioning the gentleman as to the likely cast.  He said that cast would reprise their roles.  So, Kathryn could get to be shouty mother again.

What No Angels Know pinged on my radar just a few days earlier and investigations in to the question of whether Kathryn would be in this new film only drew a “maybe”.  I decided not to post about it as there was so little to say.  It was little more than a vague rumour.  I think that Diane’s information pushes it to a “definitely maybe” so it is worth noting.  Things can change so much in the process of making a film, just look at the news that Colin Firth will not be the voice of Paddington Bear in the upcoming movie just a few months before it is due for release, so for now we’ll keep this in “possible” pile.

KM UK will bring you further news as and when.

The Coin Takes The Prize In Paris

champs_elysees_film_festival_960x355The Champs-Élysées Film Festival ended this evening with a closing ceremony and a screening of film The Trial of Viviane Amsalem.  Short film The Coin by Fabien Martorell, and starring Kathryn and Christopher Lloyd, was screened at the festival last Friday night as one of a selection of American shorts.

Awards were also handed out at the finale, including the ‘Audience Award for the Best American Short Film’.

And the winner was… The Coin.

Congratulations to all involved.

We’ll bring you more about the screening later this week.

Do You Know The Way To San… Antonio?

san_antonio_film_festival_430x140Short film The Coin is heading South for the summer as it has been selected to be shown at the San Antonio Film Festival which is held, surprise surprise, in San Antonio, Texas.

screenshot_001The festival runs from Monday the 28th of July for a full seven days until Sunday the 3rd of August.

A schedule has not yet been released so we can’t yet say when The Coin will be shown.  I’ll bring you more on that when it happens.

What we do know is that Fabien Martorell’s 9 minute long film will be sharing the billing with 40 other shorts.  There are also an impressive 22 feature films announced to be shown.  I’ve not had a chance to go through the list so I don’t know if any are premières.

At this point I’d link to the festival’s official website HERE and say it has more details, but there is not a lot there about the 2014 festival at the time of writing.

Thanks again to Fabien for letting us know about this.

Any Texans out there that might go along?

2 Br/1 Ba To Be Released In Late 2014

on_set_20120927_009It’s been quite a long time since we last had any news about this project.

Filmed towards the end of 2012 2 Br/1 Ba (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, the description of a dwelling) has been looking for distribution ever since.  The last item KM UK published on this on the discovering of a couple of teaser trailers back in October 2013.

In the past 24 hours news has broken that the film, starring Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) and Spencer Grammer (Greek), has been picked up by Lionsgate and Grindstone Entertainment for distribution later this year in the domestic (i.e. the USA) market.  No word so far on other territories.

2 Br/1 Ba is a drama about two roommates (Alexa as Janie and Spencer as Dee) who one day have a very destructive disagreement.  Kathryn has a supporting role as Olivia Morgan, exact details of her relationship with the two co-habitees is not know.

Congrats to all involved.  We look forward to finally seeing the film and KM UK will certainly bring you more news as and when we can.
