Cannes Do Kind Of Guy
This has been a zany period in my life. I have lots of projects I’m working on right now. There are two documentaries in Production right now. I have a couple of other projects too. In the midst of all of this I am busy promoting my first film. When we were at Sundance, we picked up quite an honor from Moving Pictures Magazine. They singled out “Breaking News, Breaking Down” as one of the top Documentary Shorts of the year. A friend suggested after the award, and the heady time in Utah that I set my sites even higher.
“Enter the big film festivals, and see if they will waive your entry fee!”
I took those words to heart. So why not try Cannes? I sent a note to the Festival Director and asked “Would you be willing to waive your entry fee? My film just won this big award!”
I was astonished when the answer was yes! Then the Cannes Independent Film Festival let me know that the film had been accepted. Now begins the crazy part, get a flight, get lodging, and buy all of these do dads that get you into stuff. It all adds up of course, but who’s complaining? Certainly not me. I’m a Cannes Do Kind of Guy! By the way the film just screened at two more festivals this weekend. It was at the Crossroads in Jackson, and the Kansas City Film Fest in Kansas City. The film picked up an Honorable Mention there. Thanks to all that came to see it.
