Yeesh!
Day Four of the Cannes Film Festival, and things are getting crazy. Crazy insane. Like, crazy insane good.
On Day One, I attended a premiere screening of Blindness starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo and directed by the dude responsible for City of God and The Constant Gardener. I was able to walk the red carpet! Let me just say that I strutted the hell out of that holy tongue of fabric.
Today, I met some producers that were interested in hearing about my scripts. I'm "doing lunch" with them later in the week. I get to do lunch with producers. One of them produced a film called Eating Out that I have a special affection for. Insane! Like, insane good.
Oh, also, last night, I took the wrong bus route and got mega lost. You can probably read about it in three other blog entries, but let me just say that it involved me walking around a commuter bus asking, "Parlez-vous anglais?" over and over again with increasing panic, hitching a ride from a kind motorcyclist (though he ended up being a
trustworthy fellow, I'll admit it was a risky/dangerous thing to do and shouldn't be recommended!), and ended with me seeking refuge in a French firehouse at 1:00 a.m. with three French firemen who didn't speak English.
France!
