 This early part of the year is often called Awards Season. Lots of ceremonies happen around now. We’ve already had the Golden Globes (television & films), the Grammys (music). Last weekend it was the movie BAFTAs in the UK. Tomorrow (26th Feb) it will be the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which we’ve seen Kathryn attend before. Soon it will be the 2023 Oscars, which will be considered very dull unless there is a full-on punch-up. And that’s just the entertainment industry! We’ve not mentioned any sports or computer games events to name just two more.
Here on KM UK it is more like Festival Season.
The latest news on the new movie Hayseed, in which Kathryn has a small role, is another film festival appearance.
The independent crime thriller/mystery/comedy has been official selected for the Capital City Film Festival 2023. The CCFF takes place in Lansing, Michigan in the US of A across 11 days in the first half of April. Lansing, which many may not realise is the state capital city of Michigan is around 60 miles (110km) west of the better known Detroit.
Details on screening times have not been announced yet, nor a complete set of films due to be shown. We’ll certainly bring those to you when we can. Tickets allowing access to the whole event are available already.
More details on the CCFF 2023 festival can be seen on their website HERE.
This earlier post on KM UK post HERE gives more details on Hayseed.
 …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.
