The Coin Gets The Love In The City Of Love

poster_001It’s turning in to a busy week here on KMUK!

Despite being around for nearly two years we continue to hear about the march of The Coin in film festivals around the world.

champs_elysees_film_festival_1447x2048The short film’s director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell has again let it be known that his short film will be heading back to his homeland of France.  This time it is for the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris.  The Coin is one of the official selections of the festival.

As the lady in the colourful poster on the right tells us the festival runs from the 11th to the 17th of June this year.  The exact where-and-when of how The Coin will feature in the programme has not been announced yet.  The schedule is due to be released in a couple of weeks time.  I will post an update when the news breaks.

You can check all the details on the official Champs-Élysées Film Festival website HERE.  A version for us lazy English-only speakers is due to be available later in May.

As I normally say, if you get a chance to attend a festival screening The Coin then please do let us know how what the experience was like.  We’d love to hear all about it.

Golden Coin Wins In France

fenetre_sur_courts_award_295x160The award winning short film has won an award.  Another one.

poster_002As I originally posted back in January, The Coin was screened last Saturday (5th April) at the south of France-based Avignon International Short Film Festival (known better to locals as the “Fenêtre Sur Courts” Festival International du Film de Court Métrage d’Avignon).

The event proved fruitful for the 9 minute-long movie The Coin as the co-writer and co-producer Fabien Martorell took the prize for his other role as the film’s director.

Congratulations to Fabien and everyone else involved in this project for its continued success.

Next stop (that we know about so far) is the Newport Beach film festival in two weeks time.

Revival House Extension #4

revival_house_logo_430x38.gif

4 down and 1 left to go.

In the last few days the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) granted Kathryn’s production company, Revival House, another time extension to file a “Statement Of Use”.  Basically, once awarded a trademark you have 6 months to show you are using it.  If you are unable to do that in the time you can apply for an extension of 6 months.  A maximum of 5 extensions are allowed, giving the owner a total of three years, before the mark is considered abandoned.

The recently reported addition to IMDb of the Alice Sweet Alice remake which is due star Kathryn and be produced by her under the Revival House name does suggest that things are still moving along on that front.  As of now there is a year still to go on the Revival House trademark and plenty can happen in that time.  If not then a new company name could easily be created.

See you in October for number 5!

The Trademarkia website has all the details.

The Coin Gets Newport Slot

newport_beach_film_festival_756x123Two years ago the Newport Beach Film Festival saw the première of the short film Sunday’s Mother.

In the upcoming 2014 edition of the California-based event the short film The Coin is being screened, though it is far from its first showing.  Another one due this very weekend in France, more on that later.

newport_beach_film_festival_141x168Fabien Martorell’s film about the young son (Jack Ryan Shepherd) of a very stressed mother (Kathryn) meeting a homeless man (Christopher Lloyd) at a grocery store, will be shown with 6 other shorts in a programme called ‘Short Connections’.  The one and a half hour screening is happening at The Triangle, Harbor Boulevard, Costa Mesa, on the Saturday the 26th April starting at 3:45pm.

The other films on the bill include projects from England, Finland and Germany as well as America.  Floating Sunflowers starring Anna Chlumsky (Veep) will be getting one of its first airings as part of this collection of short films.  Animation The Hungry Corpse voiced by Stephen Mangan (Episodes) and Bill Nighy (Love Actually) is representing for those of us that still put a “u” in colour :-)

The NBFF is celebrating its 15th year and is running a promotional campaign called “15 Years Under the Influence” to highlight the event.  As you can see from the colourful banner image above the festival starts on April 24th (a Thursday) and runs for 8 days.  More details on the Newport Beach Film Festival can be found on the official website HERE.

Sometime For The Centime, Franc-ly

poster_001Back in the latter part of January we brought you news of the short film The Coin‘s first foray abroad.

The petit movie had been chosen as an official selection at the “Fenêtre Sur Courts” Festival International du Film de Court Métrage d’Avignon.  That’s the Avignon International Short Film Festival.  Avignon in France.

fenetre_sur_courts_poster_001The festival organisers have recently released an initial (subject to change) schedule of proceedings so we can make an early attempt to narrow down which of the three days The Coin will be screened on.

The festival runs from April 4th to the 6th, with events running from 9am on the Friday to 7:30pm on the Sunday.  Our little-movie-that-could starring Christopher Lloyd (Piranha 3DD), Kathryn and young Jack Ryan Shepherd, gets it airing in the prime-time slot on the Saturday afternoon.

As part of ‘Competition 4’ starting at 2pm The Coin will be screened with six other short films.  They are mostly French films, with one Spanish entry.  Because our friend the writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell is French his film is listed as being ‘French/USA’  :-)

Fingers crossed for another award.

You can read more details on the festival at the Fenêtre Sur Courts website (it’s in French of course).

Apologies to all (especially the French amongst you) for any attempted puns  :-)
