Short. Sweet. Film Fest. Long. Detailed. Schedule.

short_sweet_film_fest_cleveland_poster_1634x2048It may be called the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ but their schedule for the festival is anything but.

The ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ is a single venue event running over 3 days with the most detailed plan of events I’ve seen of any of the dozens I’ve looked at the past few years.

The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell and starring Christopher Lloyd (Taxi) and Kathryn, will be screened during the festival in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday the 11th of April.  The venue is the Alex Theater, The Metropolitan At The 9 complex.

What normally happens at these short film festivals is for the individual movies to be grouped together, often around a common theme, to make a longer single screening.  The exact timing of a particular item, or even the order, is thus rendered an unnecessary detail.

Not for the short ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest.’ it isn’t.

Earlier this month the organisers released the official poster (see above right) and the schedule for the long weekend’s activities.  It’s done to the minute for the every showing.

So, The Coin slots (see what I did there? never mind) in at 4:30pm, just after a ‘presentation’ by a local brewery.

Tickets and more details are available via the official website HERE.

Roommate Wanted Trailer

roommate_wanted_title_002Roommate_Wanted_trailer_001If only I’d known about this a week ago I’d still have been a week late.

A trailer for the movie Roommate Wanted, previously known as 2 Br/1 Ba, has been released.  A copy can now be found in the Gallery.

Not surprisingly it focuses on our two leading ladies: Alexa Vega and Spencer Grammer.  Kathryn does not feature, but then neither do any of the rest of the cast really either.

For more details on the movie and the May DVD/VOD release date check out our previous post here.

Get Speechless This Weekend

speechless_film_festival_logo_180x180The promised ‘two weeks from this coming Friday’ is nearly here.

The Mankato, Minnesota, based Speechless Film Festival, starts this in a few days.

The short film The Coin. which sees Kathryn star alongside Back To The Future actor Christopher Lloyd as the stressed mother of a young boy, will be screened at the Cine Grand venue on Friday at 7pm.

Buy the VIP Festival Pass and you could attend a special second presentation of the film on Saturday lunchtime, 1pm.

As part of the “Young Drama” selection, Fabien Martorell’s short will be sharing the bill with four other projects, mostly from the USA as well.

The SFF official website HERE has all the details.

The Protocol Not On IMDb

imdb_logo_100x100The movie business gives with one hand and takes with the other.  When one door opens another closes.  Another such phrase about a good and bad thing happening.

Back in September 2014 the possible TV series The Protocol achieved the milestone of appearing on IMDb.  I realise that this is not necessarily proof that a project is on the way to release but it always stuck me as a significant event in its life.  The Protocol pilot/short was filmed during the Summer of 2013 by Johnny Messner’s production company and saw Kathryn take a small role.

A month later in an interview at the New York Comic Con the actress Xen Sia (or whatever her name is this week, it seems to change daily!) talked about the project.  There were suggestions it was being pursued by multiple networks for development and broadcast.

After the news on Tuesday about 2 Br/1 Ba (now called Roommate Wanted) getting a release things seem to have taken a turn for the negative now.

Three weeks ago The Protocol‘s IMDb page disappeared.  Initially it could have been a glitch but it has remained absent and also been removed from the various cast and crew’s pages.  As it will all be linked together within the database that makes up the Db in IMDb this isn’t a suprise.  It’s as though it never existed.  Maybe it never did… spooky!

Will the results of the Summer 2013 labours ever see the light of day?  Johnny?

2Br/1Ba Becomes Roommate Wanted, Gets Release Date

roommate_wanted_dvd_3d_001The movie up to now known as 2Br/1Ba (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom; the description of an apartment) has undergone a name change to Roommate Wanted prior to its newly announced release date of the 19th of May.

The launch will be on DVD and video on demand service and will receive the US ‘R’ rating for content.

Here is the official press release from Lionsgate Home Entertainment:

Keep your friends close and your roommates closer when Roommate Wanted arrives on DVD (plus Digital), Digital HD and On Demand May 19th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Starring Alexa Vega (Spy Kids franchise), Spencer Grammer (TV’s “Greek”), Kathryn Morris (TV’s “Cold Case”) and Richard Riehle (Transformers: Age of Extinction), it’s an all-out girl-war that ends with someone moving out for good. Roommate Wanted will be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $19.98.

Janie is an ambitious student who dreams of a better life. Dee is a gorgeous socialite who dreams of a rich husband. They’re already not the best of friends…or the best of roommates. But when Janie gets the opportunity of a lifetime, Dee becomes the roommate from hell as she desperately tries to destroy Janie’s life.

We’ll keep you posted on any news regarding the rest of the world.

Above is a copy of the DVD box art.  As you can see they are tapping into Alexa Vega’s high profile due to various recent movie and TV roles.  A large version of the image and a logo graphic have been added to the Gallery.

Nearer the time KM UK will be bring you some exclusive content, just for you fans of Kathryn.
