HollyShorts Batman!

hollyshorts_film_fest_poster_1582x2048Kapow!

Just when you thought… (this is sounding familiar)… it was safe… (oh no, it’s totally different)… to assume that The Coin has got no more film festivals to visit, up pops another one.

With a poster reminiscent of the one for a certain drama film that aired in the UK recently… hint, hint… the HollyShorts Film Festival is having it’s 11th running, across 10 days, in 9 (+13) days time.  Don’t you just ‘ate it when that happens? :-)

Given its name it will come as no surprise that the event takes place in Hollywood, the ‘TCL Chinese Theatres 6’ to be precise.

As seems to be the norm when we first report these things, no schedule has been released as of yet so we’ll return to this event when we can bring you more detail.  Tickets are becoming available on the official HollyShorts Film Festival website covering individual days and all-access passes.

Also as per usual we have to thank The Coin‘s writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell for letting us know about another screening of his film.  Fingers crossed for a prize or two.

CBS Press Tour Stars Party 2008

cbs_press_tour_stars_party_2008_20It’s SHOWTIME!

Well, actually it’s CBS but it says Showtime on the backdrop too!

To help us get over what I gather the yoof of today are calling ‘hump day’.  Apparently it is to do with it being the middle, or hump, of the week and not a crude reference to an act surely more suited to a carefree the weekend.

The memories of last weekend are fading and the next still seems so far away.  What could be better to help with those mid-week blues than some new and improved photos of our favourite lady.

Back in 2008 the TV networks CBS, CW and Showtime threw a little soirée for the press to help promote their upcoming autumn season of shows with the aid of the stars of said shows.  But what to call such a magic night of mingling of Hollywood’s best and assorted members of the journalistic fraternity?  So many possibilities but can any of them capture the true spirit of the event?  Maybe.  However they went with ‘CBS, CW and Showtime Press Tour Party’.  Truly awe inspiring  😉

What is awe-plenty (‘some’ just doesn’t cover it) is that Kathryn attended this 18th of July 2008 happening.  She looked gorgeous, and bestowed upon us some amazing, hi-res photos.

Now we’ve added to the collection and super-sized a existing one.  Find them all in the Gallery.  Enjoy.

The Coin Looks On The Brightside

brightside_tavern_film_fest_logo_310x260To paraphrase: Just when you thought you’d got out, they pull you back in!

Short film The Coin continues in it slow march to world domination of film festivals.  The next target is a Jersey City at The Brightside Tavern Film Festival.

For those of a geographical bent: if the Statue Of Liberty was to look back over her left shoulder she’d be glancing in the general direction of The Brightside Tavern.

The event takes place over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August so just five weeks to go from today (11th July).

The organisers have plenty of awards to be given for the many films to be screened so fingers crossed for Fabien Martorell’s 9 minute piece.  Thanks to him for letting us know, as usual.

If you can attend the BTFF the please let us know about your experience.

The BTFF website has/will have more details.

Again Time For Time For Heroes Picnic 2010

a_time_for_heroes_picnic_023Soooo, where is KM UK’s ‘way-back machine’ going to take us today?

What do you mean “the A Time For Heroes Celebrity Picnic in 2010”?  Where did you get that idea from?  Oh, the title  😉  Kinda gave the game away there didn’t I? :-)

As part of the on-going goal to make the KM UK Gallery the best it can be I have an update to our album of photos from the aforementioned event in early June 2010.  Previously I covered it the day after it happened, and in a couple of updates since.

Kathryn attended the event support the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) held at Wadsworth Great Lawn in Los Angeles.

Kathryn also lent the EGPAF her support back in 2005 at the A Time For Heroes Celebrity Carnival, though no doubt charities supporting causes involving children have taken on an added importance since the birth of her own twin boys.

More details the EGPAF can be found on the organisation’s website HERE.

We have updates to two of the earlier photos (12 & 13) and 6 extra one in the Gallery.

The Coin On At Hyart Film Fest Today

hyart_film_festival_logo_2048x2011A quick reminder for those in, or very soon to be in, Wyoming USA you can can see the short film The Coin today at the Hyart Film Festival.

‘Today’ presumes you are reading this on the 19th of May 2015, preferably before 7pm Mountain time (that’s UTC – 6 currently).

The Friday screenings at the Hyart Theater, Lovell, WY, start then and consist of nine short films.  One of them is The Coin, which, as you know, stars Kathryn as a stressed mother who takes her young son (Jack Ryan Shepherd) to a shop.  Whilst left to his own devices the boy meets a homeless man (Christopher Lloyd).

Amazingly I’ve been posting about The Coin for nearly three years now.  July of 2012 is when the news broke of Kathryn’s role.  It was mentioned as a small aside in a piece about director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell’s starting work on another film.  Two years ago, almost to the day, the 9 minute work première Palm Springs International ShortFest.  Since then it has been screened at more than a dozen festivals around the world.  And there’s almost certainly more to come.
