Toss The Coin For GCIFF Screening

gold_coast_international_film_festival_851x315A month ago I reported that The Coin had been selected to be shown at the Gold Coast International Film Festival in November.  This Gold Coast is the northern coast of Long Island in the US of A.

screenshot_001At the time of that post the schedule of screenings had not been published so we didn’t know exactly when the short film starring Kathryn, Christopher Lloyd (Stacked) and young Jack Ryan Shepherd could be seen by the attendees.

The timetable has now been published so we can now say… that we are still not able to be very specific on the where and when.

Two events known as ‘Great Shorts 1’ and ‘Great Shorts 2’ are happening on Wednesday, 5th Nov and on Saturday, 8th Nov respectively.  The list of which films are at each screening has not been released so far.  It is possible that the two events have exactly the same line-up, the second being a repeat of the first.  KM UK is investigating and will endeavour to report at a later date.

If you’re attending theh GCIFF and want to see The Coin you’ll need to be at either the Port Washington Public Library at noon on the Wednesday or at the Bow Tie Manhaset Cinemas at 1:30pm on the Saturday.  Your call, heads or tails? :-)  Fingers crossed for The Coin being at the Library because the tickets are free and they’ll be refreshments provided afterwards.  Not surprisingly, however, the cinema tickets are not free ($14 for adults).

In the meantime see the lack of detail on GCIFF website here.

The Coin Takes Win At SPIFF

Two out of two.

A good weekend’s work for The Coin.

After success on Saturday at the Sunscreen Film Festival the roll continued as The Coin took another prize on Sunday (12th Oct).

The Coin won another Best Short Film award, this time at the San Pedro International Film Festival.

Congratulations again to all involved in the project.  How many more festivals will it be screened at and how many more trophies can it win?

The Coin Basks In Sunscreen Win

One down.  One to go.

Yesterday (11th Oct) the short film The Coin was screened at the Sunscreen Film Festival (West) in South Bay, California.

There is good news from the event.  As you can see from the photo on the right Fabien Martorell is holding some silverware, albeit some non-silver silverware.  The good news is that that non-silver silverware represents gold.

The Coin won Best Short Film.

Congratulations to all the cast and crew on the continued success of the film at similar future events, both known and unknown.

Today the short is being screened at the neighbouring San Pedro International Film Festival.  Can it make it a double win?

The Coin To Be At Enfoque, Puerto Rico

gold_coast_international_film_festival_851x315This weekend (11-12th Oct) The Coin gets two screenings on the west coast of the United States.  See here for more details on that.  Now we’ve found out that the short film will be heading about as far east as it can whilst staying within the US, sort of.

screenshot_001Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, is an “unincorporated territory” of the United States, one of a dozen or so islands in the Pacific and the Caribbean that are designated that way.  These territories are controlled by the US government but are independent from certain constitutional elements.

In November the Enfoque International Film Festival will be taking place at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Arts Museum) in the San Juan region situated in the north east corner of the island.  The Enfoque (Spanish for “approach”) festival was first held 5 years ago.

The exact schedule has not been released yet but The Coin is one of 45 films to be shown in the 3 day event running across Thursday the 13th to Saturday the 15th of November.  The festival’s website is here.

Thanks to Fabien Martorell for letting us know about this.

The photo above shows part of the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a 16th century citadel on the the northern tip of the San Juan coast line.  It has been a World Heritage Site for a couple decades  and attracts millions of visitors per year.

The Coin’s Big Weekend

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.
