Cannes is one long day ... or at least it feels like it's one day long. Sleep happens sparingly, baguettes replace actual meals, and networking is all conversation.
It's hard to believe that there's still nearly a week left. I mean that from two perspectives. One: We've already been doing this for six days? And two: We're only about halfway through? It's bizarre.
Time has ceased to exist in the constant momentum of the festival. It's sort of like being in a black hole of the film world. Perhaps that sounds like a grim comparison, but it's not meant to be. I think it's quite accurate to say that while in Cannes you're sucked in and time is lost.
And as the remainder of my days here press on I find myself wondering: Once I'm completely pulled in and the festival ends, what's going to be on the other side?
I'm hoping for a development deal.
