Kathryn @ Scooby-Doo Première 2002

ScoobyDooPremiere03When I did one of these looks at a past public appearance by Kathryn back in early March it was from the première of Minority Report.  The Tom Cruise-led film is over 13 years old!

That gave me an opportunity to expand the piece by mentioning the planned Minority Report TV series.  The cast for a pilot was being assembled.  Since then the Fox network has taken up the option and commissioned a full season.  It starts on US television this autum/fall in a Monday at 9pm slot.

We’ve still got our fingers crossed for Kathryn reprising her role as Lara Clarke, the estranged wife of Tom’s John Anderton.  Not sure how they could shoehorn in a guest spot for such a character but you never know.

Which brings me to today’s post.  It may be about Kathryn at the June 2002 première of the live action (with lots of special effects of course) Scooby-Doo movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. (She’s All That) as Daphne and Fred of Mystery Inc.

“But why the waffle about Minority Report?” I hear you say.  The boy very sensibly making sure he keeps hold of Kathryn in the newly added photos is actor Dominic Scott Kay, 6.  Dominic appeared in the film as Sean, the young son of Lara and John who separated due to the emotional turmoil of his disappearance.  The film premièred just a couple of weeks after this event so this was their chance to get in some extra publicity by turning up together.  Or, Kathryn needed an excuse to go and watch the film and knew a boy that she could take as cover  😉

Dominic’s acting career continued with guest roles in things like NCIS and House and he even wrote and directed his own short film which starred Kevin Bacon.  More recently Dominic has concentrated on music and auditioned for The Voice

A small collection of small images have been added to the event album in the KM UK Gallery.

The Coin’s Hyart Film Fest Timing

hyart_film_festival_logo_2048x2011Since my post on Monday information on the schedule of screenings at the the Hyart Film Festival have been released.

There isn’t a great deal of detail but there is probably everything you need to know at such an event.

The opening night is next Thursday (18th May) and it looks like it is ‘sci-fi night’, possibly ‘spoof sci-fi night’.  RZ-9 might be a serious feature length movie.  Israeli short film Schnitzel, tagline ‘A boy, a girl, a space-alien and fried chicken’, definitely isn’t.  Phoenix could go either way.  Doors open at 7pm.

Friday night is shorts night.  I said ‘shorts’ not ‘shots’ 😉  Starting at 7pm the evening is made up of nine short films from around the world.  Not surprisingly this is where The Coin features.

And on Saturday is another multi-film collection, this time eight, which includes a world premiere of a French short called Rêve de fer (aka Iron Dream).  Set in 1794, a writer believes he’s found something very important about the country’s ongoing revolution.  It’s in the synopsis on IMDb so I won’t be spoiling to say “he’s wrong.”  You guessed it: 7pm.

The Coin @ The Hyart Film Festival

hyart_film_festival_logo_2048x2011You would think it was spent (geddit?) by now but The Coin continues its attempt to break the world record for the greatest number of film festival appearances :-)

As has become the usual for Fabien Martorell has let us know that his short film, starring Christopher Lloyd (Roger Rabbit) and Kathryn, will be screened at another festival.

This time it is the Hyart Film Festival in Lovell, Wyoming USA.  The event’s name comes from the theater used to host it.  The building has a very distinctive turquoise frontage and a large sign as seen in the festival’s logo (see pic on the left).

Wyomingites don’t have to wait very long because the film festival starts Thursday-week, the 18th of June, and runs for three days.

As of going to press the screening schedule has not been published.  I’ll let you know when we have more news.

The Coin @ deadCENTER Film Fest In June

deadcenter_film_festival_2015_logo_665x665Just when you thought it was all over…

Yesterday Fabien Martorell (thank you again), writer/director/producter of the short film The Coin, let it be known that the film is due to be screened at the deadCENTER film festival (don’t blame me that’s the way they write it).

deadCENTER takes place in mid-June in Oklahoma City, Ohio, and will be in its 15th year in 2015.

Normally, next I’d be typing how I’ll have to follow-up at a later date with details on exactly when the screening is due to take place.  Not this time!  The schedule was published late last week so we already know.

Grouped with 7 other short films in a 2 hour event with the title ‘The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly Somewhere Inbetween Shorts’, The Coin will be screened twice during the festival.  The first is on Saturday the 13th, starting at 2:30pm.  This is then repeated at 11:30am the next day.  Both take place at the FerrellOil Theater at Harkins, home to all the short film events at the dCFF this year.

If you’re down Ohio way in June, why not check it out.

There is of course an official website with more detail and you can find it HERE.

The Coin @ Philly Indie Film Fest Tomorrow

philadelphia_independent_film_festival_poster_1330x2048It’s another of KM UK’s classic ‘quick reminders’ which tend to drag on, thereby ending up anything other than quick :-)

Perhaps this time will be different.  It’s not looking good so far though :-)

As previously posted about the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival started last Friday and continues until Saturday (25th), though at this stage it is not clear what is happening beyond Thursday.

Tomorrow sees the Fabien Martorell short film The Coin receiving its public outing.  The event will be at the University Of The Art’s Levitt Theater on Broad Street, starting at 6:20pm.  Also on the bill in the 70 minute screening is Fabien’s latest short Unbelief.

More information can be found on the official website.

I think you got off lightly there :-)
