The Coin Is Short. Sweet. Fest?

short_sweet_film_fest_cleveland_937x861Having previously (in the KM UK Xmas Message 2014) described The Coin as “the little movie that could” I had assumed we’d heard the last of it doing the festival circuit.

It’s most recent showing was at the Enfoque International Film Festival in Puerto Rico in November.

Well, you know what they say about assumptions… they can turn out to be wrong.  “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.”

Late last week The Coin‘s writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell let it be known that his short film starring Kathryn and Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) has been selected for another festival.  This time it is the ‘Short. Sweet. Film Fest‘ in Cleveland, Ohio.

I’d like to be able to pass on the news that the festival is happening on February 6th to the 8th at the Thwing (not a typo) Ballroom in University Circle.  However the latest message from the organisers states that the event is scheduled for 10-12th April at the Alex Theater.  There is no comment stating this is a change.

At the time of posting the festival’s own website is lacking up to date information so it is difficult to know what is going on.  Either way, the denizens of Cleveland can look forward to an opportunity to see The Coin in the near (or medium) future.

Either way I’ll try and keep you informed as we get closer to the time.

Kathryn @ 2004 CBS & UPN Winter Press Tour Party

cbs_upn_01I don’t know how long the ‘2004 CBS & UPN Winter Press Tour Party’ event went on for on the 17th of January that year, but if the length of the title is anything to go by it was a lengthy affair.

Let’s break that title down:

2004: pretty self explanatory.

CBS: US TV network responsible for broadcasting many popular shows, including Cold Case.

UPN: A now closed television network that in 2004 was owned by Viacom. Shortly afterward it was taken on by CBS and then closed in 2006.

Winter:  It was January!

Press:  It was connected to a promotional event to which members of the press were invited to interview the cast and crew of various TV shows.

Tour:  Presumably the press events  took place in various cities, but it is not clear.  This ‘party’ was only in one place!

Party:  Do I need to explain?  It was a post-event bash.

At the time this party took place Cold Case had aired only the first 11 episodes, having premièred the previous September.  All the new shows that started that 2003-2004 season would have been on major promotional pushes to boost the audience as they headed towards the spring.  If the figures dipped too low they’d be for the chop come the decisions in May for the following season.  Cold Case had one of the biggest ever audiences (15.55 million) for a new show’s first episode on the network.  A figure it beat several times over the course of the season and on it’s return for 2004-2005.

Six new photos of Kathryn at this event are making their début in the KM UK Gallery today.

As you can see Kathryn was sporting shorter hair at the time, as we saw in many other events (People’s Choice Awards 2004, a SAG Awards promo event, the Primetime Emmys).  Which makes her very long ponytail at the actual SAG Awards in the February of that year more than a touch suspicious…  Not exactly Cold Case material, still very much a hot one 😉

More Cold Case Guest Star Reddit AMAs

Thanks again go to Todd Smitts for keeping an eye out on behalf of the whole Cold Case fan community.

Todd has let me know that a couple more guest stars from the long running CBS drama series will be taking part in Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ chat sessions in the next few days.  So, I’m passing it on to you.

First up is Sam Trammell, who played the 1981 flashback version of Porter Rawley in the Cold Case episode Blood On The Tracks (the 15th of season 4).  More recently Sam has had a major role in True Blood, which came to an end last year.  Sam’s acting credits include a large number of well known shows such as House, Bones (the pilot no less), CSI: NY, Numb3rs, Dexter and Medium.  He’s also been seen on the big screen in the likes of last year’s hit movie The Fault In Our Stars.  Sam’s AMA is due to take place at 5pm (EST) on Tuesday the 20th of January.

The Runner (CC season 1, episode 5) guest star Cory Hardrict is scheduled for a Redditt chatting on Friday (23rd Jan) at the earlier time of 2:30pm (EST).  Cory’s career started a few years before Sam’s and he has an equally illustrious and varied CV.  He can count Chicago Hope, Buffy spin-off Angel, NYPD Blue, ER, Without A Trace, Heroes, and Saving Grace amongst his many roles.  That’s not the half of it, I skipped past many other big name shows in making that short list.  Cory is also in movies and is in the current hot topic film American Sniper.

For further details the Reddit IAmA page is HERE.

I’m always happy to pass on information to the wider community on these pages so if you have something you think fellow Kathryn/Cold Case fans would like to know about please use the Contact form.

It’s Kathryn, But Not As You Know Her

peoples_choice_25It’s nice that someone thinks of Kathryn when they are creating a fantasy cast for a work of fan fiction.

Personally I’d “go another way” if I were to write such a thing involving Kathryn though.  There’d be less plot, perhaps just involving a plumber or pizza delivery boy, oddly coloured clothes, and more… bow chicka bow wow 😉  And a car chase!  A short instead of a feature too :-(

Fan faction author Cleo Calliope has Kathryn down as Jemma Pierson in her latest story, Pack, based on Sherlock Holmes.  It seems to be closer to the modern British TV version of Sherlock than many, albeit with an even younger Sherlock.  The “real” thing stars, as the Guardian newspaper Twitter feed called him whilst posting the 2015 Oscar nominations, ‘benedict XCuebrvatch’.  We thought the days of the ‘Grauniad’ were well and truly behind it thanks to modern technologies like the automatic spell-check in word processors.  Clearly not.

We first meet Jemma in chapter three of Pack.  She is, to say the least, already dead.  Very dead.  As Lilly Rush Kathryn’s used to people spilling their guts (as in confessing), not a person spilling hers.  Jemma was also a drug-taking prostitute who went by the name Felicity.  To quote from Pack:

Her mug shots showed a woman who had been rather pretty once but at 28 was starting to show the ravages of the life she led. Her hair had been badly bleached from her natural brown to a very unnatural blonde and she wore far too much makeup to cover the shadows under her eyes and the lines that had already begun to dig themselves into her face.

That’s Kathryn down to a tee  😕

Other fantasy cast members include Anna Maxwell Martin (Becoming Jane), Tom Wilkinson (The Grand Budapest Hotel), and Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges).

To continue our People’s Choice Awards theme this week, if one post on Tuesday counts a theme, the photo Cleo chose to use to illustrate Jemma in Flickr album (which is how I found it) was from Kathryn’s appearance on the red of the event in January 2004.  In fact she used the picture you see above.

You can see that photo, 35 others, and three videos in the KM UK Gallery.

Cleo Calliope’s story Pack is on FanFiction.net and photos of her proposed supporting cast can be seen on Flickr here.
