Apartment Looking For Resident Band

2br1ba_logo_003_640x427Feeling musical?  Know someone that is?

Well, perhaps they can get their work showcased in a feature film.

With her co-producer hat on Kristen Ruhlin (She Wants Me) put out a call on Facebook last Friday (4th January 2013) for singers, musicians and bands to contact her.  Kristen and her fellow producers are looking for music for the soundtrack of the movie 2 Br/1 Ba.

Comments made by Kristen on the Facebook update include additional contact details.  There is no deadline mentioned but the film is still listed as being released this month…

As you know Kathryn has a special guest role in the genre-defying film, which stars Alex Vega (Spy Kids) and Spencer Grammer (Greek) as feuding flatmates.

Kathryn A No Show At TCA Winter Press Tour 2013

hallmark_channel_black_190x85We could have had our first public appearance of Kathryn for 2013 yesterday evening (Friday, 4th January 2013) but it wasn’t to be.

The annual Television Critics Association Winter Tour has been taking place this past week, and continues for at least one more.  Each day one or more of the television networks announce upcoming shows and films.  Key cast and production staff members take part in presentations and Q&As with members of the press.

On Friday it was the turn of the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel Winter 2013 TCA Gala.  Bill Abbott (President & CEO, Hallmark Channels) and Michelle Vicary (Executive Vice President, Programming Crown Media Family Networks) spoke to those assembled about the TV shows and films that will feature across the various Hallmark channels in the first half of 2013.

Cedar Cove, starring Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings And A Funeral) and based on the series of books by Debbie Macomber, featured heavily.  It is the networks first ever prime-time scripted drama.  A host of film premières, including next weekend’s Nearlyweds were also announced.  Many of the stars of the various productions attended the event.

But what of The Sweeter Side Of Life?  I hear you ask.  Here is what they said:

THE SWEETER SIDE OF LIFE premières Jan 19 and stars Kathryn Morris as a Manhattan socialite who suddenly finds herself single and returning home to work in her father’s small town bakery.  Kathryn Morris sends apologies that she could not make it this evening.  But James Best who plays Kathryn’s father is here with us this evening as well as Executive Producers and writers Janeen Damian and Michael Damian who also directed the movie.

Win A Sweeter Side Of Life DVD!

fabulousafter40_150x73The ladies at the Fabulous After 40 website are giving away a copy of the upcoming Hallmark Channel movie The Sweeter Side Of Life on DVD.

Poster 003This is not a normal commercial DVD but a “screener” disc to be delivered prior to the film airing on the 19th of January (two weeks from today).  The sort of thing the press might receive for review purposes.  If you win the “sweepstake” you could get to see the film before the première broadcast.  Exciting!

Plus, with the DVD will be a copy of the film’s co-writer/producer/director Michael Damian’s new single Rock My Heart, which will feature on the soundtrack of the film and probably the film’s soundtrack album.

All you need to do is visit the site, enter your name and email address, and click submit.  We should warn you that there does not appear to be any direct feedback that your submission has been accepted, it just sends you back to the site’s homepage.  You will receive a confirmation email though.  Entries must be in by 12 noon EST (Eastern Standard Time) on the 9th of January 2013.  That’s 5pm GMT on Tuesday.

Here’s a small timer showing the time left until the competition closes:

Note that the competition rules state that it is not open to anyone outside of North America.  Presumably this is due to an unwillingness to post internationally.  Perhaps some of our American and Canadian friends can volunteer to accept deliveries on behalf of those of us not in North America in the event of one of us foreigners winning.

Update (9 January 2013):  The competition is closed and the page is no longer available.

Grand Prix For The Petite Dame?

rtl_le_grand_prix_des_series_tv_2013_150x94Our friends to south of the English Channel (they probably have a different name for it) are holding an annual competition about the TV shows and actors they like.  They get a chance to vote for Kathryn.

The French TV station RTL and the weekly Télé 2 semaines magazine are running various polls to determine the fans’ favourite actors, actresses and TV shows.  There are actually categories of each type to native French and foreign entries separately.

Kathryn gets a look-in as a foreign actress for her lead role Cold Case.  Obviously Cold Case is not made any more but these polls are based around broadcasts in France during 2012.  Season 7 of CC was shown on the France 2 network during that time.  Cold Case itself does not appear in the list of foreign shows.

You can find Kathryn’s name in the list on this page.  Tick the box, type in the word at the bottom of the page, and click “Voter”.  Simples.

Based on past experience the French people appear to very much appreciate Kathryn, but every vote counts so please vote for her.  The polls close on the 11th of January 2012 at 5pm French time (4pm GMT) with the results to be declared on the 21st.

The Social Side Of Life

Poster 003The Sweeter Side Of Life movie got a social life.

KM UK has been tracking the page for months but the Hallmark Channel TV movie’s Facebook page has finally begun to see some action, as director/co-writer/producer Michael Damian Tweeted about it a few hours ago.

A handful of promo photos and lengthy trailer have been posted on the page.  A link to the page has been added to the menu on the right.

Also, the trailer is available on YouTube for the less sociable amongst us.

Due to premiere on US TV in just a couple of weeks (Saturday, 19th January 2013) the movie stars Kathryn along with James Best (The Dukes Of Hazzard), Alastair Mackenzie (Monarch Of The Glen) and Stephen Horgan (The Tudors).  Kathryn plays Desiree, a woman who finds herself penniless and living back in her old home town after a divorce.

So, in summary: there’s an official Facebook page for The Sweeter Side Of Life.
