 …but it is going there.
In what can only be described as distant forward planning, the movie Hayseed has been added to the official selection for the 2023 Dumbo Film Festival. They have been able to give us a better view of Kathryn in her role as Joyce Metts in the film as you can see above.
 Now, “wait a minute”, you might say, “it’s only two weeks until 2023 starts so how is that ‘distant forward planning’.” Yes, but the Dumbo Film Festival happens in October.
I should also add that the Dumbo Film Festival does not solely comprise of repeated showings of the Disney classic about a baby elephant. They are showing Hayseed after all. No, this Dumbo is the neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York. Apparently it is called Dumbo because it is Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
The Dumbo Film Festival takes place from the 19th to the 22nd of October 2023. Hayseed is one of 25 films, a mix of short and feature length, announced as selected for the event. Hopefully we’ll be able to provide more details on screening times and locations later.
For more details on the event, see their website HERE.
 In a couple of weeks time, the new movie Hayseed will be getting an airing courtesy of the 2022 Another Hole In The Head film festival.
For those that need a catch-up (this site certainly does!), Hayseed is a new independent crime thriller/mystery/comedy in which Kathryn has a small role. See the previous KM UK post about it HERE.
The San Francisco-based AHITH festival is primarily horror-focused but they do venture in to sci-fi and other genres as they see fit.
Hayseed has been added to the official selection for the 2022 running of the event. However, as far as I can tell the film is not being screened in a theatre setting, but rather only via an online stream. This appears to be limited to members and is also geo-locked to the California area and will be available over the 3 days from the 16th-18th December 2022.
For more details on the AHITH festival see their website HERE.
If you are able to view the film, please do report back to us.
The poster you see to the right (large version in the Gallery) gives us a glimpse of Kathryn in character.
  Consider this your final call ladies and gentlemen.
A quick reminder that next Sunday (3rd November 2019) the short film The Protocol will be screened at the New York Short Film Festival.
After 6 years of waiting, the small drama starring Xen Sams, Max Ryan and Kathryn finally gets a première.
Taking place at the Cinema Village independent cinema in Greenwich Village, New York, tickets ($12 each) are available via the festival’s website HERE. The film is sharing the bill from 6:30pm in Short Block 6 with the pilot of a web series.
Today we have a little more information regarding The Protocol and its upcoming screening at the New York Short Film Festival (NYSFF). The previous post raised a few questions, such as why the block the short film was in only contained two items. As I’d guessed, the screening of Switch is not a short film but the pilot episode of the series.
The details provided by the NYSFF (see below) include extra details on the plot of The Protocol and confirms what the poster says in that there will be Q&As afterwards.
The New York Short Film Festival will be holding a special screening focusing on mental health awareness at 6:30pm on Sunday, November 3 at Cinema Village in Union Square.
 The program features two short works exploring the human mind— the world premiere of The Protocol, a dystopian drama starring Xen Sams (Waldo, The Banker) as a double agent in a near future where people must have their full range of emotions technologically suppressed in order to be allowed to remain in society, and the pilot episode of Stavroula Toska’s Switch, a web series which follows Toska as a Greek immigrant healing from PTSD while working as a high-end dominatrix to make ends meet.
The screening will be followed by Q&A with the creators who will discuss their process and personal connections with their stories.
[The] Protocol is being shared as a memorial screening in honor of Hadley Dean Myers who served as a case manager for care and counseling of the homeless, eventually loosing her own battle to mental health disease (23 December 2017).
Switch is based on its creator’s own story of reclaiming self after an abusive marriage.
Other notable actors associated with the films include Kathryn Morris (Minority Report), Max Ryan (Rage), Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis (Moonstruck), Jon Lindstrom (Bosch).
The double feature will be held as part of the 4th annual New York Short Film Festival, a week long celebration of indie films and filmmakers.
 Remember The Protocol?
KM UK last brought you news on the project two and a half years ago when a new IMDb page and a small video clip surfaced. OK, there was the frankly hilarious April Fools 2017 post about the film becoming part of the Marvel Universe. That was good.
In fact it goes back to the summer of 2013 when it was filmed. Initially it seemed to be a short film, and then a pilot for a TV series (which is why it ended up in the TV section of KM UK Gallery).
Today we received news, via the actor Xen Sams, that the movie will be screened at the New York Short Film Festival in just two weeks time.
The Protocol is one of the official selection for the NYSFF and is scheduled to be shown on November 3rd (a Sunday) in a slot starting at 6:30pm. As with most short film festivals, groups of films are shown together in blocks, often themed in some way. In this case, as things stand, The Protocol is only being shown alongside one other project, Switch. This appears to be a web-based TV series but probably exists as a short as well. Maybe there are showing a complete episode so it fills much of the 75-minute block.
 The Brian A Miller directed short starring Max Ryan, Xen Sams, and Kathryn, always looked a little sci-fi but it has not been clear what the film is about. In her announcement, Xen Sams described it as “filmed and created in effort to raise awareness for our nation’s ongoing mental health disorder.” The tipped over glass of water in the poster (above) raises a few questions too.
If you are in New York in early November perhaps you could get to Cinema Village independent cinema in Greenwich Village to see The Protocol. Tickets are available via the festival’s website HERE. It is Short Block 7, 6:30pm, 3rd November. Let us know what it was like.
