 No, The Coin, the short film by Fabien Martorell, has not been turned into a silent movie. Though, having said that, it could work as one.
I was aware this news was coming but Fabien let the cat out of the bag a little earlier than expected. It’s festival week on KM UK!
In this case ‘speechless’ refers to the Speechless Film Festival, which is held in the city of Mankato, Minnesota. Mankato is around 70 miles (115km) south of Minneapolis. One of its claims-to-fame is featuring in the TV series Little House On The Prairie as a nearby trading town.
The remark above about The Coin possibly working as a silent film is not a throw-away one. The focus of the Speechless Film Festival is communication via the visual medium of film, regardless of the language used in any dialogue. Fabien’s strong imagery should serve his short film well.
This, the 3rd annual SFF, is scheduled to take place over two days in the latter half of March. More details as we get them.
Information about the festival can be found on the official website HERE.
 Mere hours after yesterday’s post about the non-appearance of the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ event over the weekend there was a break. Announcements have been made.
A coincidence? I’ll leave that for you to decide.
The festival has been moved to the 10th-12th April of this year and it will be held in the new ‘Alex Theater At The 9’.
‘The 9’ is a re-development of the former Ameritrust complex in Cleveland, Ohio. Finished last September the site now contains apartments, offices, a hotel and various entertainment venues, including the Alex Theater. In fact the number of different elements totals… wait for it… 8… and that one 
Details of the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ schedule are not yet available, so we don’t know exactly when you’ll be able to see The Coin, but there is plenty of time for that.
Tickets for the festival are available via the official website HERE.
Two weeks ago I posted that another screening of the short film The Coin was pending.
Writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell had told us that his long-running 9 minute production was to be shown at the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ in Cleveland, Ohio.
The information at the time was the the event would take place over the weekend just gone, the 6-8th of February.
However, there was some evidence that the festival had been moved to a similar long weekend date in early April. It wasn’t clear though.
With the initial dates having now passed us by I think it is safe to say that the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest’ was a no-show in February. It’s one thing for a film to not make it, but a whole festival?
Hopefully things will become clearer as the alternative time arrives and the good burghers of Cleveland will get their chance to see Kathryn, Christopher Lloyd (Deadly Games) and the (not so) young (now) Jack Ryan Shepherd in action.
KM UK will of course bring you more details when we can.
We now return you to your normally scheduled…
 That guy did. The one with the gun!
It’s not a big mystery. We are, of course, talking about Stalker the Cold Case season 4 finale in which Ed Marteson draws a gun on the squad in their own building and takes Lilly hostage. With everything else going on in Lilly’s life (her mother being ill etc.) she needed this situation like she needed a hole in the… err… shoulder.
But why bring this up now?
Joe Reegan the actor who played Ed has done an interview for The Examiner website in which he talks about his role in Cold Case as well has a his work in TV dramas, films and helping to rescue mistreated dogs.
“I did a couple episodes of Cold Case when I first started,” he said. “I ended up doing the season finale with a cliffhanger when I shot Lilly Rush, who was the lead character on the show. The season premiere wasn’t until the next season, so several people came up to me and were like ‘I can’t believe you shot Kathryn Morris!'”
Contrary to expectation it improved his career prospects!
Since taking down Detective Lilly Rush Ed has been in CSI: LV and NY shows, Castle, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Without A Trace, Hawaii Five-0, and Chicago PD. He will also be in the new Cyber offshoot of the CSI franchise when it starts in March.
Joe is currently promoting a new film Alien Outpost (aka Outpost 37), which is due for a limited release in a few days time.

 It’s that time again.
Time to hand out some prizes in the annual KM UK Awards.
For the last couple of years we eschewed the silverware in favour of the more wallet-friendly “I ♡ KM UK” teddy bear. We’ve regained a little confidence economically but we’re not out of the woods (bear, woods, geddit?) yet so ‘austerity bear’ is back again. And, we love him so much it would not be the same without him now.
An Oscars-style awards ceremony doesn’t seem the same unless a statuette is involved though so I dipped into petty cash to buy a few new ones. There’s not enough for many full-sized versions so we bought miniatures instead. And, we found down the back of the sofa a few spare silver medals we handed out in 2012.
Put them all together and you get the medal-wearing, statue-clutching bear you see above. A ‘RichE’ wearing a ‘RichE’ and holding a ‘RichE’. Weird. Each winner will receive one.
Money is still tight though and these venues aren’t cheap to hire for the night so go easy on the free bar and buffet please.
That’s enough pre-event waffle from me. Let’s go over to our commentators, hosts, award givers and receivers.
