We are proud to announce that award-winning feature film ENCOUNTERS has just been listed on Amazon.com
for pre-order.
Winner of Best Feature Film Award at ReelHeART International Film Festival, Toronto; Cornwall Film Festival, UK; Cheap Shot International Film Festival, Los Angeles
Release date is November 24th.
The ReelHeART International Film Festival, Toronto, today jointly awarded the Best Film Award in the ReelTube category to Pat Kelman’s Filmaka shorts FRANCIS, THE LETTER GAME and ELEPHANT BOY.
The ReelTube category was added to the Festival lineup this year for films made specifically for the internet.
This is the second time Pat Kelman has been honoured by the Festival, winning the Best Feature Film award in 2005 for ENCOUNTERS.
Pat is, as you can imagine, delighted with the news.
Pat Kelman’s film “Francis” has been awarded the Special Jury Prize in the “Truth or Dare” competition on Filmaka.com. He will compete against the other qualifiers in the Final round, due to take place in three months’ time.
Pat Kelman will be attending Cannes Film Festival from May 11th – May 15th.
He says, “If any of my old buddies would like to catch up, I’d love to see you!”
Pat Kelman’s film Encounters: Speed Dating Can Hurt was released on DVD in the US on November 24th.
It sold out in its first week on Amazon, but is now back in stock.
Here is a review I found on Your Movie Reviews.com:
“The performances were terrific, with the relaxed realism that made the film all the more dramatic. A beautifully observed slice of life that will resonate with everyone and will tug at the heart strings. Funny (actually hilarious in places) and at the same time guaranteed to make you shed a tear as well. Bizarre and perfect in many ways. I recommend you see it soon.”
Thanks you, Sherry McWilliams!!

The very lovely people at Kino London have added a report on their August screening, that featured SAY SOMETHING, STUPID.
Pat Kelman, writer and director of the film was in attendance, as was lead actor Ben Kettner and Imaginative Leap regular DOP Imran Uppal.
The film was very well received as part of a very strong programme of shorts, and Pat has promised to bring another film to the event when it transfers to the Vibe Bar in Brick Lane next month.

Pat Kelman’s film SAY SOMETHING, STUPID screened tonight at KinoLondon #8. London’s premiere “open mic” screening night had a packed house ready for some sweet, fun films.
Happily the film was received very well, and Pat has promised to bring another film along next month.
