Fabien Martorell has sent a Tweet, following a Facebook page post, that his short film The Coin will première at the Palm Springs International ShortFest on Saturday the 22nd of June. It will be at a 1:30pm screening at the Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs.
The short film, which stars Kathryn Morris and Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future), was filmed last summer and revolves around a young boy meeting a homeless man at a shop. Kathryn plays the boy’s very stressed mother.
The official programme for the event is not due to be released until tomorrow (9th June 2013) but Fabien has clearly been given the information ahead of time.
We wish everyone involved in the production all the best with the event.
You can read more about the ShortFest at the event’s website.
Update (9 June 2013): The official programmes have been released by the ShortFest organisers. The Coin will be screened alongside 8 other short films in a package called FantasyLand. The group is comprised of films from all over the world including France, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. As The Coin shows, these short productions can include some internationally famous actors. An entry in FantasyLand from England, called Dust, stars Alan Rickman (Die Hard) and Jodie Whittaker (Attack The Block). Fellow Brit actors Ian McKellen (X-Men), Brenda Blethyn (Little Voice) and Christopher Eccleston (Dr Who), and singer and The Voice UK coach Tom Jones also have roles in other films across the festival.
Update (10 June 2013): The Palm Springs International ShortFest official press release announcing the 2013 line-up has been published. You can read it here. The world premiere of The Coin and Christopher Lloyd starring in it are mentioned, Kathryn is not name-checked but it’s an incredibly lengthy and impressive list of actors from all over the world so we’ll forgive the oversight on this occasion 
 The special features video for The Sweeter Side Of Life that KM UK first reported on 3 weeks ago has turned up on the Hallmark Channel’s own website.
They’ve labelled it “Behind the scenes” and “On location with The Sweeter Side” but it is exactly the same video we first saw in mid-May. We’d assumed it was the basis of the special features for the DVD release, and perhaps it still will be, but it was clearly done with the intention of posting it on the web first.
Anyway, if you haven’t been able to see it already after it was removed from YouTube you now have a good opportunity to do so. You can find it, surprise surprise, in the “Video” section of the Hallmark Channel’s TSSOL sub-site.
The film continues to receive ocassional airings on the Hallmark Channel. The next is due on the 21st of July, just days after the DVD release.
 You could almost set your watch, or more precisely calendar, by the ITV3 schedule.
People often say horrible things about the people that create the TV schedules. Most often this is because their favourite programme has been moved to a less popular or more inconvenient timeslot. You can’t say that about the schedulers at ITV3, oh no. June 2010, June 2012, and now June 2013 (not sure if we just missed June 2011). Each year the TV movie Murder, She Wrote: A Story To Die For, a spin-off from the popular TV series, has been shown on ITV3 in the UK. That’s not a scatter-gun or sadistic approach to timetables. It’s more like a case of OCD. Let’s see if it happens again in 2014.
This year’s outing is on Saturday (8th June) at 12 noon and repeated on Sunday morning at 7:55am. And, of course there are the ITV3 +1 (which is not the same as ITV4 ) re-showings.
For those few of Kathryn’s fans that haven’t seen it Kathryn has a significant guest starring role in the film. A bit of comic relief and, for once, a suspect in a major crime. She doesn’t get to solve the crime or play the ‘love interest’, which, based on who plays the main leads (English-born actress Angela Lansbury and the late Richard Crenna) that is probably a good thing

 The Official Kathryn Morris Facebook page and Twitter feed was up late last night. It must have been bit tired and confused because it did something very uncharacteristic: posted some news. It has been almost exactly a year since the last output.
And what pearl of wisdom did the apparently official mouthpiece of the actress, which you’d think would have direct access to said mouth, have to bestow upon us mere mortals? Kathryn’s pregnant. With twins. Something I believe was widely reported when Us Magazine and father-to-be Johnny Messner himself broke the news back in… ooh, when was it now… early April.
Let’s hope, for Kathryn’s sake, that the babies’ arrival is not so delayed.
Give it a few months and “they” will probably tell us about Kathryn signing up for the been, done and gone Surgeon General pilot (early March), or producing and starring in the forthcoming movie project Alice Sweet Alice (news from mid-April).
Of course you can get all this information in a much more timely fashion on one of the several Facebook pages that gets their content from this site. Or save yourself a click by coming straight to KM UK.
On a connected note: a few weeks ago the Official KM website went into under construction “we’ll be back” mode. Expecting a major revamp it was a surprise to see the site return some days later with just a picture, a contact form and a couple of links. All in the same style as before.
As those behind the Official sites were also responsible for promoting Cougars, Inc. we have nothing to worry about…
