Mere hours after yesterday’s post about the non-appearance of the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ event over the weekend there was a break.  Announcements have been made.

A coincidence?  I’ll leave that for you to decide.

The festival has been moved to the 10th-12th April of this year and it will be held in the new ‘Alex Theater At The 9’.

‘The 9’ is a re-development of the former Ameritrust complex in Cleveland, Ohio.  Finished last September the site now contains apartments, offices, a hotel and various entertainment venues, including the Alex Theater.  In fact the number of different elements totals… wait for it… 8… and that one

Details of the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ schedule are not yet available, so we don’t know exactly when you’ll be able to see The Coin, but there is plenty of time for that.

Tickets for the festival are available via the official website HERE.

Having previously (in the KM UK Xmas Message 2014) described The Coin as “the little movie that could” I had assumed we’d heard the last of it doing the festival circuit.

It’s most recent showing was at the Enfoque International Film Festival in Puerto Rico in November.

Well, you know what they say about assumptions… they can turn out to be wrong.  “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.”

Late last week The Coin‘s writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell let it be known that his short film starring Kathryn and Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) has been selected for another festival.  This time it is the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ in Cleveland, Ohio.

I’d like to be able to pass on the news that the festival is happening on February 6th to the 8th at the Thwing (not a typo) Ballroom in University Circle.  However the latest message from the organisers states that the event is scheduled for 10-12th April at the Alex Theater.  There is no comment stating this is a change.

At the time of posting the festival’s own website is lacking up to date information so it is difficult to know what is going on.  Either way, the denizens of Cleveland can look forward to an opportunity to see The Coin in the near (or medium) future.

Either way I’ll try and keep you informed as we get closer to the time.

The previous update on The Coin‘s appearance at the Gold Coast International Film Festival was a little vague on details.  But only because the GCIFF was.

In the past week the organisers have made more information available about the individual screenings.  I’d like to think it was due to KM UK’s prompting.  It probably wasn’t, but I’ll be taking credit any way

So, as the headline above says The Coin will be shown on Wednesday (5th Nov) as part of the ‘Great Shorts 1’ programme at the Port Washington Public Library.

‘Great Shorts 1’ was our favoured choice because it is free (though tickets need to be reserved to guarantee a seat) and includes refreshments.  Tea and biscuits all round then.  Kathryn and biscuits?  Does it get any better than that?

The show starts at 12 noon and the 10 film presentation lasts approximately 90 minutes.

See the GCIFF website here for full details of this and other events.
