The Coin Invoked At Enfoque

gold_coast_international_film_festival_851x315As has become the way with these things we now have more specific information on the timing of the short film The Coin‘s appearance at a film festival.

screenshot_001The upcoming Enfoque International Film Festival in Puerto Rico happens over three days in mid-November, the 13-15th (Thur-Sat) in fact, as reported a couple of weeks ago.

But which day will The Coin feature on?

No written list of the schedule has been published by the organisers so instead it was a case of having to interpret a set of images detailing each day’s events.  A nice and clever way of doing it, removing some language issues for the international audience.

The five short film screenings have been illustrated using small images taken from each movie.  A shot of Christopher Lloyd from Fabien Martorell’s short film indicates that The Coin will be in the ‘3rd Section Of Short Films’ which happens on the middle day of the festival, Friday the 14th, at 7:30pm.  There being 6 images shows that there will be five other films at the same screening.

More details can be found at the festival’s website here.

The Perfect Chap UK Release Date?

We don’t have guys in England.  Gentlemen, certainly.  Chaps, definitely.  Guys, not so much :-)

The last news we had on the thriller The Perfect Guy was back in August with a possible release date in the US of June 19th, 2015.  That date has not been widely reported and remains in the ‘we’ll see’ category for now, looking to be upgraded later to ‘told you so’.

Those here in the UK hoping to see Sanaa Lathan (Boss), Michael Ealy (Almost Human), and Morris Chestnut (Legends), and Kathryn, in the drama about a woman who starts a relationship with a too-good-to-be-true man, could have to wait until November next year.

Several places have reported the UK cinema release date of 27th November 2015 for The Perfect Guy, with a home version (DVD/Blu-ray) at sometime in March to May of 2016.

Pinch of salt to be taken with both of those for now.  If it turns out to be true: you heard it here first.  If not: you ain’t seen me, right? :-)

Toss The Coin For GCIFF Screening

gold_coast_international_film_festival_851x315A month ago I reported that The Coin had been selected to be shown at the Gold Coast International Film Festival in November.  This Gold Coast is the northern coast of Long Island in the US of A.

screenshot_001At the time of that post the schedule of screenings had not been published so we didn’t know exactly when the short film starring Kathryn, Christopher Lloyd (Stacked) and young Jack Ryan Shepherd could be seen by the attendees.

The timetable has now been published so we can now say… that we are still not able to be very specific on the where and when.

Two events known as ‘Great Shorts 1’ and ‘Great Shorts 2’ are happening on Wednesday, 5th Nov and on Saturday, 8th Nov respectively.  The list of which films are at each screening has not been released so far.  It is possible that the two events have exactly the same line-up, the second being a repeat of the first.  KM UK is investigating and will endeavour to report at a later date.

If you’re attending theh GCIFF and want to see The Coin you’ll need to be at either the Port Washington Public Library at noon on the Wednesday or at the Bow Tie Manhaset Cinemas at 1:30pm on the Saturday.  Your call, heads or tails? :-)  Fingers crossed for The Coin being at the Library because the tickets are free and they’ll be refreshments provided afterwards.  Not surprisingly, however, the cinema tickets are not free ($14 for adults).

In the meantime see the lack of detail on GCIFF website here.

Revival House Extension #5

revival_house_430x38Only 6 months left.

Three years ago I first reported on the creation of Revival House, Kathryn’s production company after the abandonment of the earlier Hotplate Productions.  Revival House was first mentioned in relation to a drama project that never saw the light of day.  Since then I have noted the milestones in the process the Revival House trademark has gone through.

In April 2012 the registration received its Notice Of Allowance, meaning it had been cleared for use.  The next step is for the trademark to be used commercial and evidence of that lodged in a Statement Of Use (SOA) to the United States Patent And Trademark Office (USPTO).  Once that’s done and accepted the trademark is officially registered.  You initially have 6 months after the NOA to submit the SOA.  If that doesn’t happen a 6 month extension can be applied for.  Up to 5 such extra time periods, giving a total of 3 years from the NOA, can be requested before the trademark is abandoned.

Earlier this month the latest, and last allowed, extension request was accepted by the USPTO.  This means that Kathryn has until next April to use, and prove use of, the Revival House trademark.  The Alice Sweet Alice film that’s still in development is being done under the auspices of Revival House.  Hopefully we will hear more before the April 2015 deadline on the trademark.

For those suitably interested in such things the Trademarkia website has all the details.

The Coin Takes Win At SPIFF

san_pedro_international_film_festival_award_992x992

Two out of two.

A good weekend’s work for The Coin.

After success on Saturday at the Sunscreen Film Festival the roll continued as The Coin took another prize on Sunday (12th Oct).

The Coin won another Best Short Film award, this time at the San Pedro International Film Festival.

Congratulations again to all involved in the project.  How many more festivals will it be screened at and how many more trophies can it win?
