The Coin Gets The Love In The City Of Love

It’s turning in to a busy week here on KMUK!

Despite being around for nearly two years we continue to hear about the march of The Coin in film festivals around the world.

champs_elysees_film_festival_1447x2048 The short film’s director/writer/producer Fabien Martorell has again let it be known that his short film will be heading back to his homeland of France. This time it is for the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris. The Coin is one of the official selections of the festival.

As the lady in the colourful poster on the right tells us the festival runs from the 11th to the 17th of June this year. The exact where-and-when of how The Coin will feature in the programme has not been announced yet. The schedule is due to be released in a couple of weeks time. I will post an update when the news breaks.

You can check all the details on the official Champs-Élysées Film Festival website HERE. A version for us lazy English-only speakers is due to be available later in May.

As I normally say, if you get a chance to attend a festival screening The Coin then please do let us know how what the experience was like. We’d love to hear all about it.

Kathryn @ Newport Beach Film Festival – Update x2

First!

Kathryn’s first public appearance of the year that is. Let’s hope it is the first of many. It is so great to see her again.

As reported previously the short film The Coin was screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival yesterday (26th April) and all our wishes came true because Kathryn was in attendance.

As you can see she was there with Fabien Martorell (co-writer/co-producer/director of the film), Will Kemp (co-producer/actor) and young Jack Ryan Shepherd (actor).

Thanks to Fabien for the photo. It is in the KM UK Gallery.

Everyone here sends best wishes to everyone there.

Update: A couple more photos have been added. Thanks to Will Kemp and Fabien again.

Update (28th Apr): An additional three photos courtesy of Fabien and Severine.

Mother’s Day Fan Art?

It’s just occurred to me that in a couple of weeks time (Sunday, May 11th) it will be Mother’s Day in the United States Of America.

Those of us in the UK don’t make our mothers wait so long, we get it done in March

As you may have noticed this website is dedicated to a certain special lady (I realise it is only subtly referred to ). This year she gets to celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time as a mother herself. No doubt she’ll be receiving two cards with suspiciously grown-up, yet child-like, handwriting from two boys that, let’s be honest, probably haven’t quite mastered the finer points of calligraphy.

With just two weeks to go do you think you (yes, you) could come up with some suitably themed fan art to publish here on the day?

It’s been a while since we did fan art here and it would be a wonderful way to revisit it and celebrate a new occasion at the same time. The KM UK Gallery, which includes an extensive fan art section, contains thousands of images you could use as a basis.

You can contact me via the normal methods or upload your works of art using the form below.

Thank you in advance.

The Coin By The Beach On Saturday

I’ve been trying to work out with a link between a coin and the beach to me an amusing subject line for this reminder of The Coin‘s Saturday screening at the Newport Beach Film Festival. So far I’ve failed. I just keep coming back to the memory of grandparents giving me some money to buy an ice-cream whilst on the next family holiday to the seaside.

Anyhoo. As I covered before, the short film is part of a programmed called ‘Short Connections’ made up of 7 films in a 90 minute event. It takes place in a venue called The Triangle on Harbor Boulevard, Costa Mesa, California. Show starts at 3:45pm. The city of Costa Mesa is in Orange County (that’s the O and C in The O.C.). Ain’t Wikipedia useful

KM UK wishes all those showing films at the NBFF the best of luck, especially friend-of-the-site Fabien Martorell and his cast and crew.

The official NBFF website HERE has all the details.
