It’s a big weekend for a short film.
A quick reminder for those in the Los Angeles area in the coming days. The 9 minute epic The Coin will be screened at two different film festivals less than 12 miles and 25 hours of each other.
On Saturday (11th Oct) the Sunscreen Film Festival (West) takes place in South Bay, California. The Coin and 8 other short films will be shown at the Hermosa Beach Community Theater, 710 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, from 12:15pm in a group interestingly labelled: ‘Families These Days’. Full details on the SFF website here.
The very next day the more confidently named San Pedro International Film Festival will be screening The Coin in the less imaginatively titled ‘Short Takes 3’, which is made up of 7 films. The event is taking place at the Grand Annex, 434 West 6th Street, San Pedro, from 1 o’clock. See the SPIFF website here.
As you all know The Coin stars Kathryn as a stressed mother to a young son. Christopher Lloyd of Back To The Future fame plays a homeless man who talks to the boy when he needs a friend. French-born, LA-domiciled Fabien Martorell directed, co-wrote and co-produced the short.
 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! 
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.
 I’m not sure I can stretch the weather references in the subject lines much further, so it is for the best that this is likely to be the last post on the subject
A quick reminder: This coming Sunday (5th of October) at 3pm the Pioneer Place Theatre in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, is the venue of a screening of The Coin as part of the St. Cloud Film Fest.
The festival starts tomorrow (2nd Oct) and runs until next Tuesday. See the event’s website here for more details.
If you’re in the area on the day and get a chance to attend the showing of the short films collection then please come back and let us know.
 The previous post made me check on the other upcoming festivals where The Coin will be screened.
 The Sunday after the St. Cloud International Film Festival showing it is the turn of San Pedro International Film Festival‘s (SPIFF) turn. We previously reported on it here.
1pm on the 12th of October at the Grand Annex, 434 West 6th Street, San Pedro, The Coin will be part of the “Short Takes 3” event along with 6 other films.
Renée O’Connor, best known as Gabrielle on Xena: Warrior Princess stars in one of those. It is 9 minute long short, like The Coin, set in the 1930s ‘Great Depression’ called The Usual. Kathryn, as you of course know, guest starred in a couple of episodes Xena as a religious crusader called Najara. Despite not being as powerful as some of Xena’s foes, she came closest of all to stealing Gabrielle away from her.
Kathryn and Renée on one bill! That has to be worth a look! No matter how brief 😉
Tickets ($11 in total) for the screening are available, along with full details, on the SPIFF website here.
 Clouds are ephemeral things but the St. Cloud Film Festival is firming up.
Just two weeks ago we brought you the news that the short film The Coin had been chosen to be part of the line up of the St. Cloud Film Festival.
At the time there was little detail available regarding actual screening events within the 6 day event.
In the past couple of days the organisers have released a preliminary schedule of happenings which means we can now say with some certainty where and when The Coin can be seen.
Sunday, the 5th of October at 3pm a collection of 11 short films of various types will be shown at the Pioneer Place Theatre in Saint Cloud, Minnesota.
The tickets are already on sale at the very reasonable price of $5 for a screening totalling nearly 2 hours of films. A ticket covering the whole festival is only $20. See the event’s website here for more details.
Any Minnesotans out there going along?
